This is one of my biggest research projects, and so far, I'm at a dead end. The button pictured below is a super rare, Confederate staff officers button. Anybody from Major on up could have worn this.
I found this last year on the edge of Culpeper county, below Waterloo. It was just inside the foundation, of a very old house, down beside Harts Ford. It is known that General J.E.B. Stuart rode across the ford with his command on the 22nd of August (hey that's today!), and at the bridge in Waterloo. Somebody told me (I forget who) that J.E.B. and his staff visited the house several times. I am going to draw or outline a few maps and such of what I know about the place.
Does anybody know how to prove that J.E.B. was there at that house more than once, or at all?
