    THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG PA- Mcpherson's Ridge Area Field of HETH'S DIVISION / HERR'S RIDGE To Willoughby Run / REYNOLDS WOODS - ROSENSTEEL FAMILY -
    Dropped .577 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet (possibly nose-cast, with a very large semi-circular cut on one side of the nose, hard to tell exactly what happened to this one prior to its discovery)
    This
    Dropped .577 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet
    was found in the area that was occupied by Heth's Division on July 1st, 1863 during its attacks on McPherson's Ridge - more specifically, it was recovered between the field occupied by Heth's Division and Willoughby Run / Reynolds Woods. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (born in 1887 and died in 1964), sister of George Rosensteel (founder of the Gettysburg National Museum and the famous Electric Map) so the provenance could not be better. This is the first time that this artifact is being offered for public sale and I feel very privileged in the opportunity to offer it. The Rosensteels were, of course, the most famous artifact collecting family in Gettysburg and the bulk of the relics on display at today's Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center come from the Rosensteels. A provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
    Thank you for viewing!
