Among the papers of my gr3grandfather Jacob Vogh (1816? - ????) of Vicksburg are these three items. I am interested in assessments of their authenticity and where I can get more information. Thx,

Trivia  9-8-2020 Who Am I?

I am the wife of a Major General in the Confederate Army. I was not married to my husband at the time of the war. I was my husband’s 2nd wife and so I am not buried with my husband, but I am buried in a very prominent Cemetery. Many people may not realize I am buried there As none of my children by the General are buried at this cemetery. A huge hint if you want to find my grave, I am at site 1936 in this prominent D.C. Area Cemetery. Who am I and who was my famous husband?

Main thread title works. I am posting a unique cannon. According to the Lakewood Cemetery, they have the only remaining Sawyer Cannon. It was 78 1/2 inch long.

The American Civil War

The American Civil War, arguably the most traumatic event in the history of the United States, was fought from 1861 to 1865, and was the culmination of sectional issues which deeply divided the country between a pro-Federal government North and a pro-states rights, in the pro-slavery South, whose eleven states formed a breakaway government called the Confederate States of America. The costliest war in terms of human lives, the American Civil War claimed in excess of 620,000 battle or disease-related deaths - roughly two percent of the country's total population, and nearly more deaths than all other American wars combined.
