content: Written on the back of the shield: "Zamboanga. General Breckenridge. Compliments of J. S. Pettit. Moro Shield." "General Breckenridge" may refer to General Joseph Cabell Breckinridge Sr. (1842 - 1920). The collector of this shield was most likely Col. James Sumner Pettit (1856 - 1906), who served in the Philippines, including in Zamboanga, 1899 - 1902, and who most likely gave the shield to General Breckinridge.
