CIVIL War Captured Presentation Sword Captain 19th Michigan Used By Confederate
CIVIL WAR CAPTURED PRESENTATION SWORD CAPTAIN 19TH MICHIGAN USED BY CONFEDERATE. THIS IS A VERY COOL SWORD WITH GREAT HISTORY. THERE IS A BOOK WRITTEN ON CAPTAIN BASSETT BUT IT IS LOST.
THE HISTORY AS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK IS THAT THE SWORD WAS TURNED OVER TO CONFEDERATE BRIG GENERAL NATHEN B. FORREST AND WAS USED BY HIM OR ONE OF HIS OFFICERS UNTIL THE END OF THE WAR.
THERE IS NO WAY TO PROVE 100% THAT IT WAS USED BY GENERAL FORREST AFTER 1862, THERE IS ONLY THE ORAL HISTORY. WHAT IS FOR SURE THAT THE SWORD WAS CAPTURED BY FORREST.
