Hi Michael,

I am the museum collections manager for the Daniel Bissell House, Ft. Bellefontaine and Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in St. Louis, MO.  I have not heard of Civil War objects that are missing or stolen in the area.  I will check with the curator of these sites and see if he has heard of any problems.  So far we have not had anyone trying to sell anything to us.  My email address at work is [log in to unmask], if you wish to contact me directly.  I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Janet Wilzbach
