These Walls Do Talk: Civil War Signatures Discovered Beneath Layers of Wallpaper and Paint

In late 1861, Federal troops seized Beaufort, South Carolina, and occupied the city. Homes and other buildings abandoned by fleeing South Carolinians were commandeered.

To pass the time, soldiers doodled pictures and signed their names on the mansion's plaster walls.
