Joyner is the author of, “Life in the Stockade”, a chapter in the book, “Andersonville: The Southern Perspective”, and was a park ranger and historical interpreter at Andersonville National Historic Site. Letter of provenance is enclosed of this being dug by Joyner and then being in the possession of William F. Howard and more recently Andrew Keyser.  [sl]
