What a beautiful quilt. Someone put a lot of love into making it. The blood stains on it just show the real reality of how horrible those 3 days were. The fact it was used to cover a soldier shows that someone cared enough to cover him over.
Thanks for this, fascinating! This reminds me of a recent visit to Carnton Plantation, near where the Battle of Franklin (Tennessee) was fought. An upstairs bedroom was quickly turned into a hospital to treat wounded soldiers, and you could still see the blood stains on the floor!
JD, this is a Gettysburg back story: Years back "the first summer after high school" A friend and I went to Gettysburg and would sleep in our car here and there. The Thopson House "Lee's Headquarters" that became part of a hotel was Larson's Quality Inn. Don't tell anyone but we would sneak into the pool in late afternoons after many long days of exploring every corner of Gettysburg. Fun Times. JD, another great watch of American History....
What a cool artifact! The bloodstains are a testimony to the men who gave the last full measure of devotion on the Gettysburg battlefield. Great video, JD and Erik. Thank you for taking it out to its spot on the battlefield and sharing it with us.
My family and I were there this past week, and your whole series on the battle definitely helped make me a great tour guide for them around town and the battlefield! Thank you for sharing all of this great information. I wish we could have run into you. Maybe next time! Keep up the great work.
No matter what your opinion on history's people is, it need be remembered, in reference to the War Between the States, it is the SADDEST time in American history; Americans killing Americans is just as tragic then in a war as it is now in the guise of rampant crime; the "modern warfare"
It was my Dad and I that were standing nearby when y'all were shooting part of this video! I thought it was y'all, but didnt want to interrupt. Love this series of videos, and all y'all do. -a Virginian
Definitely a unique artifact. In most cases I would imagine they'd go ahead and bury the soldier with the quilt around him, or simply discarded it as ruined do to all the blood and grime on it. I noticed it was found by a John Culp, who obviously was part of the Gettysburg Culp family. I think it would be fascinating if you collaborated with Erik on the Wesley Culp story. I noticed in an article he has the original photos of Wesley Culp and his brother in the Union army. There seems to be a lot of stories surrounding what happened- some true and probably some not. It would be interesting to see the take you and Erik have on it.
I wonder if it would be possible to get a DNA test of the blood stain. I have my 3x Great Grandfather's Union belt buckle. If it's the only one he was issued, then it was on him when he was fighting in the 83rd Pa, on Little Round Top on the 2nd of July. On the 20th Maine's right flank.
I wonder if they can do DNA testing on that bl00d to see if that soldier has any living relatives. I mean I don't know really know if that would be possible but curious.
A part on me would be curious…. What the results be if they run a DNA test, and compared it all the technology and information we have today… and find the people that are related to this gentleman who gave his life for what he believed in…..
Wonder how Erik Dorr always comes in possession with civil war relics, imo it seems a bit shady how he comes in to possession all these items including the artifact he peddles on Pawnstars
So there are items coming into the museum all the time. I’ve actually been there on multiple occasions when it’s happened. Items that are donated to the museum stay in the museum. In some cases, items are purchased with the intent of reselling them to generate revenue for the museum and keep it open free to the public. In those cases, it is always made clear to the individual with the artifact what the intent is. So, nothing shady at all. Hope that clears things up a bit for you.

A southern soldier never to see home again. 🖖
I’m so excited Gettysburg is back!!

Thank you Erik and JD for sharing this artifact. Amazing! 💯👊👍
Our pleasure!
I'm Canadian, but I find American history so interesting. I'd love to visit Gettysburg someday.
Love the artifacts. Thank God they were preserved to help tell the story and bridge the war with today.
Crazy that the quilt was washed over and over and the blood remains.....the dead don't want to be forgotten!
Seems weird that they would wash an artifact
@@bevb752 I doubt they thought it would be an artifact back then ....You're right though. Why wash it if they were going to save it for posterity.
Thanks for this, fascinating! This reminds me of a recent visit to Carnton Plantation, near where the Battle of Franklin (Tennessee) was fought. An upstairs bedroom was quickly turned into a hospital to treat wounded soldiers, and you could still see the blood stains on the floor!
Wow! Most blood soaked stuff back then was simply thrown away. Very rare to see it today. Pretty cool 👍
I love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work just for us❤
Thank you so much!

Taking that quilt to the site...as a seamstress I found that very moving.

Oh no! Shouldn’t have put blood in the title, TH-cam will probably take the video down 🙄 (sarcasm) 😊

Gotta protect all the snowflakes and powder puffs! (Sarcasm too, well not really)

@@swlc5555 - Yeah, we’ll definitely tackle Wesley Culp at some point.
Typo in title. Gettyburg should be Gettysburg. You typed it correctly in description.
🙀🙀🙀
Doh! Fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.
@@TheHistoryUnderground you're welcome!! ❤️❤️
Great stuff as always!

Wow!
I was thinking about the DNA also
nice work thank you
@@edouardrobert160 👍🏻
I've got to get back there soon. It's been over a year 😉
Could a DNA sample be taken to see if it can be identified as to whose blood it was? Or is that an impossibility because of the age of the artifact.
Gdamn Longstreet, what an attack
The Lutheran seminary is haunted.
@@jimrutherford2773 nah

Is that Stonewall really that old? In the same place?
@@maryannallen9885 - Same place, but the stone wall wasn’t there during the battle.
Wasn't a culp killed on culps hill during the battle?
