Wife and I were browsing a little antique shop today and I found this chest.  My guess it was for the soldier's uniform and possibles and mementos from the war.

"This is my native state.  I will not leave it to serve the South.  Down the street yonder is the old cemetery, and my father lies there going to dust.  If I fight, I tell you, it shall be for his bones." -Lew Wallace, after the 1860 election

I didn't want to move the items on top; especially with the asking price on the chest. ($2200)
