Tennessee County Named For Jurist Who Founded Memphis

A newsworthy event recounted earlier this year by CBS and CNN provided the inspiration, if not the impetus to explore a series of slayings that occurred simultaneously with the Confederacy's sortie into the state of Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863 and culminated in the general carnage at Gettysburg.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

In January of 2011, it was reported that an uncommon Civil War era revolver which was stolen thirty five years ago from the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia had turned up once again. The Museum’s Collections Manager Catherine Wright stated the .36-caliber Spiller & Burr revolver had been stolen in 1975 when the museum collection was being moved to a new building. A woman in Knoxville, Tennessee had discovered the gun in December of 2010 in her late father's belongings.

Krissy Evans had attempted to sell it to a Sylvania, Ohio antique dealer, Dave Taylor, who traced the gun to the Museum. Knoxville FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard L. Lambert said that the woman's father was a collector of Civil War memorabilia. It is not known how he came into possession of the gun. Ms. Evans will not face any charges. Wright revealed the recovered revolver had been the property of George Washington Rains of North Carolina, who along with his brother Gabriel were renowned as the notorious “Bomb Brothers” because they custom made “gunpowder infused weapons” for the Confederacy.
