Large fragment of a Civil War cannon ball recovered near Chancellorsville, Va. This relic is at least half of a Bormann 12-pounder iron cannon ball. Threaded fuse and underplug hole is clearly displayed. Iron is stable and has been heavily coated. Piece of index card with Greg’s notes.

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]
