Was John Salling Virginia’s last living Confederate veteran? Or, was he an 
imposter, a rascal who couldn’t pass up a chance for a veteran’s pension 
during the Great Depression? Archivist Craig Moore reveals the documents 
related to Salling housed at the LVA and presents his status according to the 
Commonwealth or Virginia. See this week’s entry on the Out of the Box blog 
from the archivists at the Library of Virginia.
