You should send this to the Pennsylvania State Archives. Jeff Snyder may
have a contact there.

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] New Blog Post - 206th Pennsylvania Rediscovered in
Lynchburg Volume

On the surface it looked like a boring business ledger but looks can be
deceiving. This volume from the Lynchburg courthouse contained doodles,
autographs, a partial roster, orders, and a brief account of the fall of
Richmond by members of a Pennsylvania infantry unit. They were stationed
at the courthouse soon after Lee's surrender. Forgotten for nearly 150
years, this historical graffiti comes to light again on your screen in
the Out of the Box blog!
