USBP 1. Identified Sword Belt Plate grouping.
These Items came from a Michigan family and the verbal provenance is
that the soldier is either David Webster McKee of the 102nd. Illinios or
another relative whose last name was Wilhite and was also from Illinois.
The image is a ninth plate tintype with no case and the smashed bullet
supposedly wounded Wilhite in the arm. More research needs to be
done by someone who has the time and the means. Purchaser can
contact family directly for more detailed information.
