The Great Seal of the Confederate States William Peters

In the midst of the Federal Government's war against the Southern people of the Confederate States of America, the Great Seal was commissioned from England. The story of its creation, secret journey to Richmond, loss and recovery after the War is unknown to many in the South, or the North. The Great Seal is the emblem of the sovereignty of the Confederate States of America as a nation, and also its coat of arms. This book is a collection of articles about the Great Seal and its history. It is a thrilling story about the search for clues as to whether it had survived Yankee pillage and plunder with the fall of the South. And the story of Southerners ultimately tracking down its whereabouts, leading to its final recovery, and its survival to this day as the continuing symbol of the Southern nation.
