I don't know why the pictures loaded this way. But, because I needed to do my part to keep the economy rolling I did a little online buying.
I bought a sweet little ivory notebook that fans out to six pages because you normally wouldn't be writing on the Sabbath Day. It has some very faint writing
in it. The first screen has 1862 on it, the rest is very difficult to read. It is thought that it belonged to an officer to take notes on.
The second is a broken spur from the South Cavalry Field at Gettysburg. Finding a complete and whole set of spurs from Gettysburg is out of my
range right now, but this one seems legitimately documented and I'm happy with it. I can only imagine the agony of fighting that would go into
a spur breaking, having worn spurs myself.
This is the ivory notebook unfolded and you can see some of the writing. I'm not into collecting heel plates but this was a dug artifact
and I've never seen one in a heart shape before. I took it out of the box and it is actually quite small and very thin and worn.
This is a type of thing I've always thought cool and wanted. This is from the battle at Bentonville, NC. The bullet is NOT glued in.
I don't think it is a branch but believe it is a railing or a piece from a house. The bullet is so embedded and smooshed in that
the type of bullet can't be made out, at least I and the dealer can't make it out. This bullet saw the end of the war on the east coast.
