Jefferson Davis Burial
Wed May 9 10:47:28 2001


Alan,
The article I am referring to about the possible eviction of the Confederate Museum in New Orleans contains the following paragraph:
"At one time, the building at 929 Camp St., a short block from Lee Circle, was almost a sacred site for many New Orleanians. In 1893, a reported 60,000 mourners filed past the casket of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis."
I wonder where else he was "Laid in State" before his burial in Richmond.
