Williams repays Hand seven hundred thousand in Civil War tale
A Charleston man, George W. Williams, surrendered assets valued at 700000 dollars to partner Daniel Hand to shield him from Confederate seizures. Williams details decades of efforts to rebuild Hand’s fortune, including remitting 700000 dollars over time, and asserts no sharp dealings in his career while aiding Hand through prison, sequestration suits, and wartime disruptions.
