Provenance |
"Military coat worn by Maj. P. R. Cleburne when captured." (original catalog) Frock coat in which Maj. Gen. Patrick Ronayne Cleburne (1828 - 1864) was killed at Franklin, Tennessee on November 30, 1864. Three decades later the donor of the coat found it "so dirty and so moth-eaten" that she "hesitated about sending it on to Richmond." NOTE: This is probably not the coat Cleburne was wearing when killed. |
