Bennett W, Green, CSN-- Part 8: His Button in a Museum
From Antiquescientifica.
This button is now in the American Civil War Museum.
There is a guilt brass CSN coat button with an identification tag dated 1894, that said the button belonged to Surgeon Bennett Wood Green (died 1913). Charlottesville, Virginia.
It refers to a photograph that says they were officers of the CSS Shenandoah. I wrote about this photograph earlier and believe some of the officers were from the Shenanoah, but I don't thing Green was. But, he was in England after the war and had served on the CSS Stonewall.
