Confederate veteran seeks political clemency before Hunton
A Botetourt County veteran in butternut gray and a slouch hat carried a musket to Washington to request a favor from Gen. Eppa Hunton. He said the musket proved his wartime service and asked Hunton to secure him a government position. The outcome of the meeting was not reported. A long-ago Mrs. Adams letter notes Continental currency as token money amid war. A Detroit thief loudly asks a police officer to stop the racket as shots are fired.
