Description
Rare “Stanhope” bullet, likely sold not long after the Civil War as a souvenir to tourists visiting Lookout Mountain. This genuine “minie” ball bullet was collected, perhaps from the battlefield at Lookout Mountain, and fitted with a small microscope slide so that a small image of Lookout Mountain is visible when examined through its tiny lens. These clever devices were popular in the 19th century and sold at several battlefields including Gettysburg and Antietam.
