“Boys, lie down or you’ll surely be hit!” – John T. Sinnott, July 3rd, 1863

Does or did anyone here ever know or meet Vermont Civil War collector Marius Peladeau?

I'd never heard of him. I was doing some random research this morning on the net and found this. I'm not a CW collector, but what an amazing piece.

Absolutely incredible yet very somber relic. Thanks for sharing.

FYI it sold for $4,250 (with BP)- I'm currently at the auction

great hat - I thought it would bring more money.

 

I purchased a winchester model 1887 shotgun from this auction - can't wait to get it
