Offered here is an 8.5” x 4” x 2” brick from the Jacob Schwartz barn. This barn was used as part of the large 2nd corps field hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg.

The 2nd Corps set up their hospital on the Jacob Schwartz Farm around Rock Creek. This was the third and final location of that Corps’ field hospital. Initially moved due to Confederate artillery over-shots during Pickett’s Charge, and then from flooding along Rock Creek. The Schwartz farm buildings and fields eventually held over 3200 wounded Union and Confederate soldiers.

This comes from the Gregory A. Coco collection. Greg was born in Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana in 1946. He served in Vietnam and was a Park Ranger at Gettysburg NMP for many years. Greg enjoyed historical research and authored many books relating to the Battle of Gettysburg, most notably “A Vast Sea of Misery” and “A Strange and Blighted Land”.   [jet] [ph:L]
