Duane: When you go to Richmond for that visit, inquire as to the uniform of Lieutenant Dwight W Martin, KIA at Sharpsburg, 17 September 62. Don't think I ever knew what unit though. It used to be on display in the museum. Don't know if it still is. My son, who lives in Williamsburg, VA has his sabre, given him by my father. My father bought it for $5 from a farmer who lived outside of Sharpsburg, along with another, identical but with no inscribed name in 1928.
