Remembering the brave men of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment on this 161st Anniversary of the Assault on Confederate Fort Wagner, July 18, 1863. #54thMass#Glory
TBH, I cannot verify this copy… looks very different from the set I have (& have seen listed.) Too “new.”

I have always marveled at tidbits like this:
The last surviving witness to #JohnAndre ‘s execution, Pierre Besançon (came with #Lafayette), died in 1855. Warsaw,NY.
