Thank you for posting this. My reply was trying to be a carefully worded one to an earlier post. I know what is believed in the area of the country where I grew up and there were stories there of the lanterns and blankets being hung in certain areas and in a certain specific way etc. I'm glad you know of some actual documentation to corroberate this. Thank you for posting. How fascinating this is. I hate when we read where facts in history aren't true or have been falsified. There seems to be a movement a foot today to undo and discredit a lot of our nation's history and that's sad as we do have a very rich history for our young country.
