Have just recently acquired a professionally framed print of the 11th PA and Sallie in a very unusual way! Saw it at the curb when driving by a finished yard sale with a free sign on it. Of course put any dignity aside and stopped to rescue the print!!! Beautifully and professionally framed with a dark blue mat, light gray distressed wood frame and dust cover on back. Had a hanging wire on it, took it home, dusted it off and it now lives on the wall above my desk. Here is an image of the print entitled 'Loyal Heart' by Greg Stump:
Yes it was! And strangely enough, it was an afterthought that made us go up that particular street. We were not intending to go that way but at the last minute changed our mind about the direction of travel. Dumb luck?What a stroke of luck to find this incredible print for free! Lucky you drove by that street when you did

You may be right about fate! Almost eerie when I think about it!!!Sounds to me like it was fate or the print was calling out to you
Thank you! I think it is certainly my most unique find in a most unique situation. Would have never thought about finding such a nice framed print like that!! It would have been a great find even at $20. I would have bought it for certain!Congratulations, MRB! I think this is my new favorite treasure-found-at-yard-sale story!
We're pleased to have met three people whose ancestors with the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry served at Gettysburg. Although Sallie isn't mentioned in the ancestors' surviving writings, there's a good chance that they knew her. As @JPK Huson 1863 noted in one of her posts, her ancestor David Adams of the 11th may have been one of the soldiers Sallie guarded on Oak Ridge. Two descendants with connections to the 11th are visiting Sallie here:

If any CWT members have photos of their own visits with Sallie and would like to add them to our gallery, please send me a direct message and I will be delighted to add them. Thank you!
