Two years later a Confederate officer recovered the sword and returned it to Shaw's parents in Boston.
Col. Shaw had no children and the sword ended up with his sister Susanna Minturn and there the sword's history ended.
She was believed to have given it it to a teenage grandson.
That was probably correct as it was found in the attic of one of Minturn's great-grandchildren late last year.
