General Patrick Cleburne’s Frock Coat Now on Display at The Museum of the Confederacy http://www.moc.org/exhibitions/special-items-display?mode=appomattox This uniform coat was sent to a family friend after Cleburne was killed at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee. Thirty years after the event, the donor of the coat found it “so dirty and so moth-eaten” that she “hesitated about sending it on to Richmond.” Thankfully, she did send it. This is the first time in many years that this unique artifact has been on public display.
