The October 2008 Civil War News reports that the coat of Confederate Major Frederic Robert Scott, who was at Robert E. Lee's April 9, 1865, surrender at Appomattox Court House, is being returned to the scene.
Site Director Richard Rambo of the Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury, Alabama, came across a tag sewed in the collar of it saying "Coat worn by Maj. Frederic R. Scott at the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox April 12, 1865." and it piqued his interest.
Less than a half dozen Confederate officer sack coats remain. Scott Stadium of the University of Virginia was dedicated to him October 18, 1931.
