Rome Tri-Weekly Courier, Sep. 24, 1863, page 2.
"Old Charley" must have been pretty well-liked and extremely well cared for.
"He was fat when stolen......was shod all around with new shoes. His hoofs are very brittle, and without shoes cannot travel."
Seems a $400 reward was, at the time, a pretty hefty prize to offer for the return of a horse requiring such careful attention.
I hope Surgeon L C Pynchon was reunited with Old Charley. Sounds like the two were good friends.
