Grave of Confederate Financier Found

It is somehow appropriate that it was an American researcher and his students who located the long-lost burial spot of the head of Fraser, Trenholm and Co, the firm that provided financing for construction by a British firm of the CSS Alabama and other Confederate Raiders during the U.S. Civil War. The Guardian newspaper in London has the full story. including the fact that although Charles Kuhn Prioleau's grave in London was lost for many years, his home in Liverpool is well-known and still bears Confederate decorations. Prioleau died in 1865 at the end of the "Lost Cause". It was said during the war that there were more Confederate flags flying in Liverpool than in the Southern U.S. For more about the CSS Alabama, go to the web site that was designed to be the online companion of a not-to-be documentary we were producing in 2008 at APT.
