Offered here is a group of relics recovered among the trenches along Mineral Springs Road, Battle of Chancellorsville.
Included is a New York coat button, two New York cuff buttons, a Staff cuff button, and a Rhode Island cuff button. Condition and patina is good on all the relics.
Mineral Springs Road is located in the woods, northeast of the Chancellor House site. Mineral Springs Road is an extension of Bullock Road where they are bisected by Eley Ford Road heading north. This was General Hooker’s last line of defense prior to the complete withdrawal of the Army of the Potomac, and extensive trenches were prepared throughout the woods.
These relics were recovered in the mid-1970s by author/publisher Dean Thomas. [jet][ph:L]
