The Northport Doll

[major bill]

This is an image of the Northport Doll. I took this particular image off the back of the book Grand Traverse The Civil War Era. This doll has a Civil War connection to Michigan. I am not sure all forum members know the story of the Northport Doll. The story of this doll in interesting. Does any of our Michigan forum members want to fill in the forum with the story of this doll?
