UNNUMBERED CASE - CORBIN, VIRGINIA -
This case from Gavin's collection was not identified with a number but the relics were identified as having
been recovered at Corbin, Virginia. A small note that was found underneath the matting in the display

Other identified Gavin relics refer to this camp as Camp Santee. This camp was occupied during the winter months after
the Battle of Fredericksburg. Hill's men were here until the beginning of the Chancellorsville Campaign required that

and a small seam split on the opposite side. It has been dented in several places and has been partially crushed at
