<B>Personal Bag of Confederate Surgeon Major Samuel Houston Caldwell.</B></I> This is an amazingly well preserved medical and/or personal bag owned by Caldwell, who was a battlefield surgeon for Confederate cavalryman General Nathan Bedford Forrest during the Civil War. The bag is made of woven wool cloth and, though the word ended up having a negative connotation in the South, should properly be called a carpet bag. <BR><BR>Confederate Surgeon Samuel Caldwell took many personal items with him to war as he traveled with General Forrest's cavalry. This is one that survived the war, a rarity in itself. The historical importance of this item has been made even more significant due to its association with the Confederate surgeon who served with General Forrest.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
