B. Lewis Blackford was a Confederate surveyor during the Civil War and a 
talented artist. He sketched what he saw as he traveled around Virginia and 
North Carolina. This week’s Out of the Box blog entry is about a notebook he 
kept during the war which is now part of the Library of Virginia's Private 
Papers  Collection.  An earlier notebook kept by Blackford was captured by 
Union soldiers and published in full by a New York newspaper according to his 
brother. We don’t know if it survives -- perhaps you can help pinpoint its 
whereabouts? See the latest entry here
