that was recovered from Fredericksburg VA, found at an 1862-1863 Winter Campsite.
This relic comes out of the collection of William Reger who lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania and relic hunted at a variety of sites from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s. Reger carefully identified his artifacts with typed labels. In this case, the tag is not included, as it was the only tag for the grouping, however, a copy of the tag, as well as a provenance letter, will be included. The Battle of Fredericksburg, fought primarily on December 13th, 1862, is best remembered for the doomed Union frontal assaults on the Confederate position behind a stone wall on Maryes Heights. Earlier in the day, however. Meade’s men nearly won the day by breaking through Jackson’s line until they were driven back and suffered heavily in the Slaughter Pen.
Thank you for viewing!
