There has been a post of two on desks used by officers in the war.
Most seem to be familiar with the plantation style used by Jackson and Longstreet.
I mentioned that I have the desk of BF Butler...so here it is.
I bought a long time ago from his estate sale held in New Hampsire after the family took what they wanted and then sold the land for development.
Ick!
Anyhow I was able to pull out some good items as most buyers wanted large carved furniture and cranberry glass.
It started me on a long yet fun journey to try to understand this complex American hero.
