KERA’s Bill Zeeble reports the Dallas Historical Society has recovered the missing objects cited in this blog and on air last week. The box containing valuable artifacts such as Gen. Santa Anna’s brass spurs and desk paperweight, the Bible belonging to John Neely Bryan’s wife and one-of-a kind historical photos, among others were found at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. The DHS had hosted its major fundraising luncheon, The Awards for Excellence, at the hotel on Nov. 15 and according to Executive Director Michael Duty, apparently the box was left behind.

Bill will have more this afternoon, and as I disclosed during my prior blog entry about the objects, I serve on the DHS board, but Bill got the news before I did today.
