[QUOTE=slidekellyslide;916740]Not baseball, but a very cool Civil War era scrapbook that has a handwritten Confederate General Order, a piece of a rebel flag and flower picked up from the battle of Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh), a piece of the curtain from the Marshall House where Col. Ellsworth was murdered, and lots of Confederate notes. For those that don't know Ellsworth is the first officer of the North to be killed in the war..he was a very good friend of Abraham Lincoln. Union Soldiers in the weeks after Ellsworth's death collected souvenirs at the Marshall House where he was killed. Anyone know what something like this might be worth?
Wow Dan!! What an incredible scrapbook! I don't collect stuff like this, but I can appreciate something so historic. Congrats!
