This hefty chunk of wood measures just under 3 ½ feet long by approx. 7.00 inches thick. The bark is gone and the wood has a gnarled appearance but is strong.

Cut into the wood in four places are notches with a bullet visible at the bottom of each notch. The bullets are nicely spread out over the piece so the cuts do not weaken the log at all.

Three of the bullets are very deeply embedded with some of the white lead visible. The fourth notch was cut a little too deep. The impression of the bullet can be seen but the projectile itself is gone.

Attached to one end of the war log is a mid to late 20TH Century paper label that reads “WAR LOG - 4 BULLETS IN LOG - FOUND NEAR HAMILTON’S CROSSING - FREDERICKSBURG, VA. - ‘JACKSON’S LINE.’”

The location of the log’s recovery was on the right of the Confederate line at Fredericksburg during the battle there on December 13, 1862. Meade’s breakthrough of Jackson’s line would have occurred in close proximity to where this log was recovered.

This would make a great centerpiece to any Fredericksburg or Civil War relic collection.  [AD] [ph:L]
