Some More On Col. Ulric's Replacement Leg-- Part 3: What Happened to His Replacement Leg?

And, yet, the story of the luckless colonel's leg does not end here.  There is yet the story of what happened to the artificial leg Ulric Dahlgren was wearing when he was killed.  I have seen it referred to as a cork and now a wooden leg in different sources..

That wooden leg, apparently, was not returned with the colonel's body.  It was later said that one of John Mosby's Rangers, himself missing a leg, took it and wore it for many years.

An article in the  Bennington, Vermont, Evening Banner on September  18, 1922,  said that Captain John Ballard "probably will carry it with him to his grave."
