Old news, but of interest. The May 21 Lexington (Ky) Herald-Leader reported that a seventy-year-old man was arrested for stealing Jefferson Davis documents valued at $15,000 from the Transylvania University Library back in 1994.
Eugene Zollman is described as a big-time Jefferson Davis collector. The school hadn't inventories its items for over 40 years. He was caught when he recently tried to auction them off on line. A Texas collector recognized the documents and contacted Transylvania.
A 1994 sign-in sheet showed he visited the library on April 11, 1994, and again a month later.
