Revolutionary Indian hunter traps rebel sharpshooter in pine camouflage
A Seneca artilleryman used a pine bough decoy to blend into the tree line and capture a rebel sharpshooter. The daring ambush occurred before Petersburg as a wager won by the Indian, who marched the prisoner into camp. Also noted is the death of Josiah Quincy of Bainbridge Mass at age 51 after a long public career.
