8 pounder i found at a garage sale

While I primarily collect items associated with Gettysburg, I also have a few items from the 25th NC, as those men were almost exclusively from my area. This is a copy of “Washington and His Generals” (Headley, 1847), from Colonel/later General Thomas Lanier Clingman’s personal collection.

Picked up a Roby m1860 cavalry saber dated 1863 and inspected by Alfred G. Manning (AGM). Only 3,000 total cavalry sabers were made by Roby in 1863. The “West Chelmsford, Mass” address is the 3-line version (early 1863), which is considered scarce.

Discharge paperwork for Jesse Baker, originally with the 141st PA but trained with artillery units during Fredericksburg. Later transferred to the 1st NY Light Artillery, Battery B just before Chancellorsville. Includes handwritten list of battles he fought in on the back!

Interesting relic from the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Supposedly made from artillery platform that fired the 1st shot
