War Between the States: Rare Civil War Artifacts

Time Lightbox  "In honor of the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War, TIME sent photographer Henry Leutwyler to The National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, Pa. to photograph 185 artifacts, from powder horns to playing cards, held in the museum’s collection and curated by Brett Kelley."


Musket ball stuck in the pages of a Bible, which likely saved
the life of the soldier carrying it

When your number is called by the Big Guy - it's called...But if it isn't...

Excellent illustration of that fact.
