The names and intials on this '42 Springfield really tell a typical Southern story.  H. Dayton and William T. Windham   both enlisted in the 37th Alabama Infantry on the same day 5/1/62.  I beleive the musket was carried by William T. Windham (only one with these initials in the 37th Ala.) who carried it until his capture near Atlanta, Ga. on July '64 at which point H. Dayton picked up the musket and carried it until the end of the war. . He was pardoned and paroled on May 1,1865 at  Greenboro, N.C. The musket also has  CSA carved in it.  There are also multiple hash marks on the butt stock which is quite typical on Confederate guns. The wood above the lock shows signs of burning due to the hot flame that the Confederate forces used in their percussion caps. Also, the bolster nipple is one of Confederate design. There's also another named stamped neatly in block letters " T.Lanon'. The only soldier on either side named Lanon with a T is Thomas Lanon who was with the 183rd Pa. Inf.  They were at Appomattox Court House for the surrender. It appears this musket changed hands again and went home as a war trophy with Thomas Lanon. A really great piece of Civil War history
