Description: Please visit our eBay store for a complete list of in-stock Civil War relics organized by recovery location. We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling on eBay. POOLESVILLE, MARYLAND ~ Recovered from an 1861-1862 FEDERAL ZOUAVE WINTER CAMP SITE ~ This relic Civil War Soldier's 19mm full-size Federal Eagle Coat Button, with shank intact (bent) and unreadable backmark, and very worn surface, was evidently recovered from a camp site in the 1990s that was used by Zouave troops during the Winter of 1861-1862 (This was likely known due to a volume of Zouave uniform buttons being recovered from the site). This relic Civil War Soldier's 19mm full-size Federal Eagle Coat Button, with shank intact (bent) and unreadable backmark, and very worn surface, was evidently recovered from a camp site in the 1990s that was used by Zouave troops during the Winter of 1861-1862 (This was likely known due to a volume of Zouave uniform buttons being recovered from the site). I acquired this artifact directly from the relic hunter who found it, so it is the first time that it is being offered for sale. A provenance letter with the digger's name (he is still living) will be included. 'In 1760, brothers John Poole, Sr. and Joseph Poole, Sr. purchased 160 acres (0.65 km2; 0.25 sq mi) acres in the area that is now Poolesville. Thirty-three years later, John Poole, Jr. used a 15 acres (0.061 km2) tract that he inherited from his father to build a log store and subdivided the tract, selling portions to a number of other merchants. The settlement grew from there and was incorporated in 1867. During the Civil War, Union military leaders realized that the shallow fords of the Potomac River posed a threat to the capital city. At certain times of the year, the Potomac River is shallow enough to cross and thus thousands of troops were moved to both Darnestown and Poolesville. The Corps of Observation was established just outside Poolesville and soldiers were stationed near the river to monitor potential Confederate incursions into Maryland. During the winter of 1861–1862, it is estimated that 20,000 Union troops were stationed in or around the town. There were no battles fought in Poolesville; however, the infamous Battle of Ball's Bluff was fought nearby on October 21, 1861. Hundreds of Union soldiers who were stationed in Poolesville were killed in this battle that was badly managed by inexperienced Union generals. There were several Confederate raids into the town during the war, and the Confederate Army invaded Maryland by crossing the Potomac near Poolesville in 1862 and 1864. The old Poolesville Methodist Church cemetery contains the remains of approximately twenty soldiers who either were killed in action at Ball's Bluff or who died of illness while in camp.' We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information. All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
