About This Item

Civil War Soldier Quilt

It is a miniature reproduction quilt inspired by the quilts made by women both in the North and South during the Civil War to supply soldiers' needs. These quilts got a lot of wear and tear, so hardly any have remained. They are extremely rare (only four are known to exist now), in spite of the fact it is estimated that the Sanitary Commission alone made and distributed over 250.000 quilts.

I'm cleaning in the photos. I describe and log TBs photographed in the last more than 13 years variously after events and caches, codes from logbooks, from lists published at events and the like. Thank you

I confirmed today that this TB is no longer in this cache - please report as lost/missing. I hope it shows up soon - best of luck!

Grabbed the Civil War Soldier Quilt from Dumpsterbutt. (Ok, he picked it up from the cache for me. ) I'm going to get a picture or two of it, before sending it home.

Interesting trip!

I'm glad to say this is at its destination. I was going near there today on my way to Trader Joe's so I made a quick detour. WOOHOO!

I happened to notice this TB's mission so I grabbed it. I'm glad I looked! I have already visited False Alarm, but I do go by there regularly in VA. I can actually complete its mission!!!
