Best described here by our photo illustrations this GETTYSBURG identified battlefield pickup brogan offers lots of evidence of period wear, make do field repair and is of the buckle closure design so frequently referenced as of British origin, blockade runner supply to the Confederacy. Untouched and as set aside decades ago, worthy of note and preserved by our accompanying letter is that this battlefield relic emanated from a group of four similarly marked shoes previously on loan to the Bosworth G. A. R. Post #2 in Portland, Maine by Post member, Capt. George W. Verrill of the 17th Maine Volunteer Infantry. Set aside as companion to our personal collection grouping of Gettysburg wounded Capt. Verrill (see: www.MaineLegacy.com page 50) this offering from the group of four Bosworth Post loaned relics is made as part of our downsizing of an accumulation of over fifty years of aggressively seeking out such treasures.
