An 18 x 16 inch 100% cotton reproduction of the handkerchief belonging to Lt. S. Millett Thompson of the 13th New Hampshire Infantry.
A Civil War reproduction handkerchief based on the original belonging to Lieutenant S. Millett Thompson of the 13th New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry.
Thompson enlisted in Company E of the 13th New Hampshire on August 13, 1862 and was later promoted to second lieutenant. He served primarily in Virginia and was severely wounded during the Siege of Petersburg. After the war, Thompson authored “Three Years and a Day,” and his letters are preserved in the UNC Library.
The original handkerchief, from the South Union Mills private collection, was stenciled with Thompson’s name and regiment. This reproduction preserves the look and specifications of that historic personal item.
