This relic was in a large Berks County, Pennsylvania collection of carefully identified relics that were recovered in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Reger included his own type-writer typed tags with the relic groupings. In this case, the tag is not included, as it was the only tag for the entire group, however, a copy of the tag, as well as a provenance letter, will be included.
Cedar Mountain, which was fought on August 9, 1862 during the Second Manassas Campaign was a fierce fight involving Stonewall Jackson's Corps. The total numbers involved were relatively small (8000 Union soldiers and almost 17,000 Confederate soldiers), but casualties were comparatively high (3,700 combined).
Thank you for viewing!
