first week of January 1864. In conjunction with this event, the MacArthur Museum

record, of the circumstances surrounding Dodd’s arrest and conviction on the
charge of being a spy;

military commission) as they were conducted during the American Civil War;
3) To celebrate the loan and return of the Dodd stained
glass window; and
