Re: Alabama at Pensacola, January 1861
I seem to remember in the 1970's, when I was doing research in Tallahassee there was a lot of records stored in the old jail on Pensacola st. When they cleaned out the Capitol bldg, the flags that had been in the rotunda were put in the old jail where some of them mysteriously disappeared. The person in charge of the records at the jail told me that a great deal of info from the WBTS was lost in the big fire in Jacksonville in the early 1900's. The lack of a system for conserving the records from that period makes it very difficult to find information.
