where some of the casualties of  the
Battle of 7 Pines were buried; and more from other
battles of the Peninsula Campaign.
Hunting for Civil War relics began, in some cases, the day after a battle ended.  This postcard shows
Captain James E. Lyne standing in front of the relic shop where he sells artifacts from the Battle of
Seven Pines.  He, also, serves as a battlefield guide.  Captain Lyne fought in this battle, on the
Confederate side.  Postcard is circa 1900.  Please see note below!

The great-granddaughter of Captain Lyne has been in touch with me and she would love to hear
from anyone who may have information about her great-grandfather or the Virginia regiment
where he may have served.  If you have any info, please get in touch with
Betty.  Thank you!
