Re: NEW! Civil War Memoirs of Major Charles Swett

Mike,

Your pictures brought back good memories - I worked at the Old Court House Museum for nine years, and I would see the Swett's Battery Flag every day. I don't know if you are aware of it, but the Swett's Battery Reunion Ribbon that Major Swett is wearing in the photograph is now in the collections of the Vicksburg National Military Park. In fact, I was told by one of the park rangers that it was the very first artifact donated to the park, given by Swett himself.
