    THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG - THE JOHN'S FARM (William Henry Johns was the owner of the farm) / AREA OF JULY 1st FIGHTING AS WELL AS JULY 3rd PICKETT'S CHARGE STAGING AREA (THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW BATTLE SITES WITHIN THE MODERN TOWN OF GETTYSBURG THAT WE HAVE SEEN MADE AVAILABLE) - THE SANDERS BROTHERS COLLECTION / THE ROSENSTEEL COLLECTION - A very nice Dropped .54 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet
    A Very Nice Dropped .54 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet. This artifact was recovered on the Johns Farm at Gettysburg. A very nice looking example with great provenance! - found by the Sanders Brothers from the 1930s-1950s. This bullet was once part of the famous Rosensteel Collection of Gettysburg. This specific relic was identified as having been found on the Johns Farm. The Johns Farm was not established until after the battle, but the house and barn appear in the famous Cyclorama painting of Pickett's Charge because they had been built by the time the artist prepared to paint the scene in the 1880s. The farm, bordered Long Lane and the house, which still stands, sits on the block immediately east of Steinwehr Avenue. As an easy guide, the farm can be seen from the parking lot of Appalachian Brewing Company. The Colt Park neighborhood now sits on the lane once owned by the Johns. Not only was the farm bordered by the Confederate lines on Long Lane putting it between the two opposing armies on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but there seems to be no doubt that Pickett's Charge would have affected it as well. This bullet was recovered by the Sanders Brothers, who lived on the farm between the 1920s and 1950s. The Rosensteel Collection is arguably the most famous collection of Gettysburg relics that has ever existed. John Rosensteel opened his Round Top Museum of Gettysburg artifacts in 1888.
    A provenance letter will be included.
