| Abstract | Relates the history behind the discovery of nine names--Schlosser, Scholz, Van Eweyk, Reifenstuhl, Froelich, Rook, Fernekes, Hoene, and Koege--written on the attic walls of the Blenheim Estate in Fairfax, Virginia. The names can be traced to the 26th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, nicknamed "the Sigel Regiment" in honor of Franz Sigel, the German revolutionary leader of 1848 who was then a popular leader of the national German American community. |
