A story of Lincoln [told by Luke Ferriter of Brattleboro, Vermont]. [1925].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/457207826

A typed copy of a story told by Luke Ferriter who served with William Scott in the 3rd Vermont Infantry Regiment. Ferriter tells of serving as a witness in the court martial of William Scott and in the firing squad at Scott's near execution.

Also included in the folder are documents showing the Civil War service records of both Luke Ferriter and William Scott, as well as a copy of William Scott's birth record from the Town Clerk of Groton, Vermont.
