- Notes: Note: The goblets offered as lots 300 - 302 commemorate the births of the three sons of General William R. and Frances Mayrant Miles of Mileston, Mississippi, and New Orleans. During the Civil War, Miles commanded a Confederate regiment known as "Miles' Louisiana Legion" which fought at the Battles of Plains Store and Port Hudson. The New York Times, May 28, 1869, published excerpts from a letter General Miles wrote in support of ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment: "We want a Government, a good Government, the best Government we can get. We want the repose, and security and confidence that a State Government alone can give. Cannot the entire population, then, both white and black, unite upon common ground, and bring about this desired result?"
