From central PA; we lived close to Gettysburg and visited multiple times. It surprises me how many people, in 2023, are STILL pulling civil war ammunition out of the ground. It is VERY common to find balls still. If that doesn't speak to how very many were FIRED I don't know what does. Hey, let's NOT do that AGAIN. I LOVE that jacket!! I'd wear it! and yes, I called "curtains". But that's NICE!!! Look at the detail!! I understand why he grabbed the curtains!!!!! LOL Fabric is fabric! I have kirtles (medieval underdress) made with "found" fabric. (curtains, tablecloths, bed linens) Such a beautiful piece!

My great great grandfather owned the Mississippi River and used to give meticulous directions to ship captains about how to navigate the dangerous parts of the river. On their honor, they had to leave 4 doubloons worth of gold or silver in New Orleans if they reached it safely using the directions. My great great grandad died before he could collect all the gold left for him, and the family forgot about it for a hundred years, until my dad hired Nicholas Cage to help find it. He found it in a secret underground vault in the French Quarter. They’re making a movie about it in 2025 called “The Great Mississippi Treasure”.
