Description
An account of the resource
This piece of wood features a .58 caliber minie ball deeply embedded in a piece of wood. Invented by the French army officer Claude-Etienne Minié in 1849, minie balls revolutionized battle. They were smaller than the diameter of the rifle and thus, easy to load. They were also extremely deadly due to their size and expansion upon being fired. This type of ammunition was often used with the Springfield Model 1861 rifled musket.
