Vol. XI, Episode 9

John H. Willets
7th & 12th New Jersey

Will is joined by Michael Fahle at the Hayes Presidential Center to share another veterans story through their personal items in his collection. Through some great artifacts that include a frock coat, boards, an amazing travel desk, and more we learn about the experiences of an officer from New Jersey. His story has a plot twist involving President Lincoln that we did not see coming!

Special Thank You!
