Scope and Contents
Resident of Falls Church, Virginia, and collector of Civil War memorabilia. Collection consists of two items: an undated photograph of Major William F. Graves of the 2nd Virginia Cavalry, Company F; and a Bible, published in 1864, that evidently originally belonged to a Union soldier but eventually came into the possession of Graves. Writing within the Bible indicates that it might have belonged to William M. Newell, Assistant Surgeon of the 12th Illinois Brigade, 4th Division, serving in Sherman's Army.
