C.S.A. Surgeon Maj Sam. Houston Caldwell's Spur
<B>Confederate Surgeon Major Samuel Houston Caldwell's Cavalry Spur.</B></I> Samuel Houston Caldwell spent the majority of his enlistment with the Confederate Army riding with the famed cavalryman General Nathan Bedford Forrest as his battlefield surgeon. This spur was with him and has been preserved by his descendents. With an approximately 3¼” opening to accept the rider's boot, it has a small rowell which is still attached even though this spur would have seen daily use in the field. The remaining spur was given to another family member. This is a historical wartime article used by the battlefield surgeon to General Forrest.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
