Sequoyah County Historical Society members will hear about a mystery at their meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday at the society’s museum at 200 E. Creek in Sallisaw.

Local author Wylie P. Cole will tell society members “The Real Story” in his book of the same name.

Cole’s story seeks to answer questions such as:

—“Did a famous Confederate soldier spend the final years of his life in Sequoyah County, undetected by anyone but his closest family members?”

—“Did he live and practice medicine under an assumed name?”

—“Is he buried in a local cemetery?”

Cole said the rumors have persisted for years. And anyone who would enjoy a surprising and strange turn-of-events story from the Civil War era is welcome to attend the meeting.

Refreshments will be served and Cole will have copies of his newly-published book and will be available for autographs and discussion following the meeting.
