Seward Attack

[Jim Garrett]

First the stick pin. I believe I saw references to it in the collection when under the control of the judge advocate. There are several letters about items in the collection being transferred to the National Museum (now Smithsonian). If Dave taylor is out there, he has seen the same documents. Dave, Am I correct? So far, I have not found a more modern (after 1890s) reference to it. I could have longago left the collection, or it could still be in the NPS collection along with the 13,000 plus other trinkets.

I agree with Roger. I believe that everything changed after Lincoln's speech on the White House lawn. To JWB, it went from a last ditch effort to save the South, to a retribution mission.....Sic Semper y'all>
