Touch the Elbow - Blogging the Civil War

It’s a grand day today.

The 18th Massachusetts Historical Society – Summerville Branch, just purchased two more relics for the collection – bullets from the Battle of Gettysburg as collected by Color Sgt Edmund Churchill.

This will make 6 pieces that we now own and continue to be on the look out for. We still ache for the chance of looking at the pictures and letters of Edmund – hoping that one day someone will contact us with the good news that they want to share. Until then, we will continue to pray.

Once I get the bullets in my possession, I’ll share pictures.
