    THE BATTLE OF CEDAR CREEK, VIRGINIA - The Wilbur C. Bedall Collection - A Dropped .577 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet
    This Dropped .577 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet, was a part of the collection
    of Wilbur C. Bedall and was identified as having been recovered from the site of the Battle of Cedar Creek.  Bedall began collecting relics from his family farm in the Shenandoah Valley when he was just a young boy in the 1930s. In the 1980s he began using a metal detector to hunt for relics on various sites associated with the Civil War and was very careful to record the recovery location of all of his finds.
    The Battle of Cedar Creek, a very important 1864 engagement that was fought close to Winchester, VA,  is known to history for the famous ride made by General Sheridan in an effort to rally his army after a surprise Confederate attack.
    A provenance letter will be included.
