Found: The Lost Sword of a Civil War Hero

(via Atlas Obscura) Col. Robert Gould Shaw led the Civil War’s first all-black regiment, a story depicted in the 1989 movie “Glory.” In 1863, Col. Robert Gould Shaw led the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the Civil War’s first all-black regiment, into battle in South Carolina. Shaw carried a sword, and when he was killed in battle, that sword disappeared. Two years later, it was rediscovered and given to his parents. But then, in the course of time, it was lost again.
