 | The Capture of Jefferson Davis.
Orders to pursue Confederate President Jefferson Davis were initiated by the U.S. War Department largely because at the time it was assumed he was complicit in the assassination of President Lincoln. A $100,000 reward was promised for anyone who could bring in the president and his aides. On May 9th the 1st Wisconsin and 4th Michigan Cavalries surrounded his camp. In his his haste to escape he grabbed his wife's overcoat. It didn't take long before the story expanded to the point that he was said to be dressed as a woman which, is the view taken in this Currier & Ives print.

 | The Charlie Ration Cookbook.
Edmund's grandson, Walter Stauffer McIlhenny was the President of the McIlhenny Company, from 1949 to 1985. Having lived through C Rations in WWII he created a humorous booklet called; "The Charlie Ration Cookbook". It was sized to wrap around a bottle of Tabasco sauce and shipped in a waterproof tube. They sent over 200,000 of them to service men in Vietnam.
Beginning in the 1990's the United States military started including little glass bottles containing 1/8th ounce of the sauce in it's combat rations. In addition to the U.S.; Australian, British and Canadian armies have also issued small bottles of Tabasco sauce in their rations although in recent years have switched from glass bottles to restaurant style condiment packages.

 | The Fabyan Windmill.
The mill was originally constructed in York Township, Illinois from a Dutch-built prefabricated kit that included hand-cut cypress beams with hickory and maple gearing. The mill also had a wing building possibly for storage or, it may have once housed an auxiliary steam engine.
On October 15, 1914, Fabyan purchased the mill for $8,000 from the widow of it's owner. It's not known why he purchased it. Some have suggested it was a present for his wife. Looking around the grounds it's easy to see that he just liked having things that were different. The size of the mill prevented him from easily moving it the 20 miles to it's new home. he would spend his next 19 months and $75,000 disassembling the mill piece by piece and reassembling it on his property.
He made a number of modifications. A new foundation for was poured from concrete that included a basement level. This made the rebuilt mill six floors high and, the tallest in Illinois. Windows were added to the fourth floor. The original mill was made almost entirely of wood including the driveshaft. He had an separate iron drive shaft installed to run the machinery in the basement level, which included a sharpening wheel, a corn sheller, and a grain separator. He also installed an oven in the basement, although it was rarely, if ever, used. An exhaust system was built for the underground level. It came up through a false chimney in a stone bus shelter which, unfortunately was destroyed by a truck in the 1950s.
At one point the estate was home to award-winning livestock and other animals. The mill was used to grind their feed as well as by other local farmers. The mill was last used about 1950 and the sailcloth was removed from the blades.
The mill sat and deteriorated for years. The county was considering demolishing it in 1990 when it wasn't even considered safe enough for inspection. Fortunately many people argued it should be saved. It was restored with the help of private donations and fund raising which paid the $916,000.00 bill. A grand reopening celebration was held June 3, 2005, exactly 26 years after it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it is open on weekends May through October for public tours. In 2008 a small picnic shelter was built near the windmill which echos the storage wing that was there when the mill was at it's original location.
Lucas Verbij a windmill expert from the Netherlands served as the consultant for the restoration. He said; "If the windmill was in Holland, it would be the most revered windmill in all of Holland".
