Mr. Thrower,

Allow me to personally invite you to pay us a visit on your Grand Tour. I am the director for the Young-Sanders Center for the Study of the War Between the States in Louisiana. We are located in Franklin, Louisiana. We have two libraries with a considerable number of rare books on the War Between the States and many historical artifacts on the war including: swords, relvolvers, carbines, leather items, etc. We have copies of maps on Louisiana for the war period from the National Archives. Recently we acquired a rare union newspaper printed on wall paper by the Union Army here in Franklin in 1863.

We look forward to your visit.
