Davis Family Dinner With General Wilson After Civil War
The Davis family was hosted in a large room with meals from a hotel kitchen. A Confederate bow to hospitality appeared in a flowers reveal after a waiter served a dish. General Wilson met Mr Davis, showed courtesy, and agreed to prison by water, while paroled men could travel with their mounts. A feud rumor ties Harley Hayes to a shooting by Boyd Lupo in Fork, D. C. last Saturday.
