From the Camden Confederate, April 25, 1862
Quote:
The Northern Papers say that among the prizes captured by the Federal Soldiers at Fort Donelson, was a rifle said to be worth one thousand dollars. Its breech is said to be inlaid with the finest gold. It belonged to a hotel keeper in Memphis, and was won by him at a horse race.
