Offered here is a fine relic of the Battle of Gettysburg. This is a 4.5” x 6.5” x 1” piece of milled oak with a bullet in it. In the process of cutting this piece of lumber, the lead bullet was cut in half; likely a common occurrence in the local lumber business in years following the war. The piece of wood remains solid.

This relic was once in the Lee’s Headquarters Museum. Accompanying the artifact are documents showing this piece listed in a 1950s Lee’s HQ inventory journal, and listed on a 2000 auction sheet. Additionally, there is a letter of provenance from Pete Monahan, then owner of Larson’s Quality Inn and Lee’s HQ Museum. [jet][ph:L]
