ANTIETAM FIELD-MADE IDENTIFIED CANE
A great relic from the Antietam battlefield, a very early pine wood cane made on the field by an officer who carved his name and other information on his souvenir. The cane, 35" long overall, is a section of a pine branch which was squared-off leaving only the handle in in its original state. Its owner has carved upon the shaft: "CAPTAIN JAMES FAIRMAN CO. B 10TH NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS BATTLE OF SHARPSBURG, MD SEP 18 1862". Very good. Fairman had led the company prior to that battle, later serving with the 96th New York. This cane was likely made by him in the very early post-war years in remembrance of his friends in the 10th New York. From the Remsburg Collection of Antietam relics.
