Antique m hoke smith cowpens wooden box | ||
| collectorpaul's loves416 of 1555 |  |  |
Interesting...[Michael] Hoke Smith, secretary of the interior, governor of Georgia, and U.S. senator.
But he grew up in North Carolina..so mot sure it's same person. Might have something to do with his railroad involvement? Then below that we see Berryville VA, Germany, Smalley Europe and ?
Might try contacting their historical society..might be something important.

Do you think this box was used in the battle of cowpens
To me the construction looks much later...
