From the Nov. 22, USA Today.
Along with the cigar smoked by Jefferson Davis, the time capsule included a scarf worn by one of his secretaries, a likeness of General Lee. a Bible, fabrics and Confederate money.
The time capsule was buried six inches below the base of the monument.
Believe it or not, the financially strapped city spent $400,000 to remove it, though I guess we should be thankful that they didn't just bulldoze it down.
I looked at photos of them taking it down, one of the saddest things I've ever seen. To think that a city would do something like that to destroy history.
Again, the Shame of louisville. --Old Secesh
