The Surratt Courier

[wpbinzel]

The November/December issue of The Surratt Courier has been posted on the Surratt Society's website. (The Holidays tend to slow us down a bit, which is probably a good thing.) The issue contains articles of Christmases during the Civil War and how Southern mothers had to explain to their children that Santa could not make his way through the Union lines and blockades. It also has an article on Osborn Oldroyd and his collection of Lincoln memorabilia that became the foundation of the items on display at the museum at Ford's Theatre. And the last article is on the rocking chair in which Lincoln sat when JW Booth put a bullet into his brain.

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you all!
