Henry Mills held on to the shirt that saved his life for the rest of his long life.
It was a dead man s shirt. Likely wrestled off a fallen Confederate soldier on an icy Nashville battlefield in the bitter December of 1864. Mills took the shirt and wrapped it tight around the bleeding bullet wound in his leg.

DuBose listened as City Council members approved a pavement project, considered sending a letter opposing a state bill and confirmed appointees to its economic advisory committee. By 6 p.m., what she and hundreds of others on the virtual call had been waiting for finally came before the council: the future of Placerville’s controversial rough-and-tumble identity. Up first: its city logo.
