Gettysburg – Little Round Top – Civil War Artifacts - 5627

Description: Original lead bullets excavated from the Spotsylvania and Wilderness Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The battles were the start of General Grant’s 1864 “Overland Campaign” to take Richmond, Virginia. They are the same type ammunition that would have been carried at the Battle of Gettysburg. The bullet at center is for a Federal .58 Springfield, the fired .58 bullet at left could have been used by either side. The fired bullet at right is a Confederate .57 for the Enfield Rifle. They all used a paper cartridge to hold the black powder. The white color or patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The picture was reproduced from a photograph taken by Timothy O'Sullivan in 1863 just after the Battle of Gettysburg. It shows the rock walls the Federal troops made to defend Little Round Top. The sticks that are seen were used to spread the soldiers oilcloths over and protect them from the sun while waiting to see what General Lee would do. There is at bottom left a cartridge box left behind on the ground. At the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, Major General George Meade's “Army of the Potomac” defeated attacks by General Robert E. Lee's “Army of Northern Virginia”, halting Lee's invasion of the North and forcing his retreat. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point, due to the Union's decisive victory. The battle was fought July 1st through July 3rd, 1863. The artifacts come as shown in an 8” x 12” “Riker” style glass top case which can be opened by taking the pins out. The artifacts are just pressed in, not glued. Riker cases can be hung on a wall, but are best used on a stand. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
