The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut, has acquired a remarkable memorial piece of furniture that stands 8 feet tall and is
embedded with bone. The 1876 Bingham family Civil War memorial secretary
is a moving tribute to a young Federal soldier lost at the Battle of Antietam in 1862. The secretary was made by
members of Connecticut’s 16th Volunteer Infantry. • Article
