Abstract:

Currently housed in the State Department of Archives and History, located in Raleigh, the Old 191 cigar wrapper containing the Confederacy's intentions to attack Union troops was discovered in the late summer of 1862 in Frederick, Maryland. With this intelligence Union troops were able to stop Lee's invasion at Antietam.
