A completely hammered flat bullet, possibly used as a poker chip or game piece, which appears to have started out as an Enfield Bullet. This artifact was recovered in the early 1970s from a farm along the Smoketown Road, very close to the East Woods (private property at the time, with permission). Major General Joseph Mansfield's XII Corps moved up the Smoketown Road on the morning of the battle and entered the East Woods. Mansfield was killed during this advance. A provenance letter will be included.
Thank you for viewing!
