Here's another one told to me by my grandmother many years ago.
She grew up in Pa. and was eighteen in 1913. Her father took the family to Gettysburg for the fiftieth aniversary ceremonies on July 1,2&3. The U.S. government paid the travel costs for any veterans of the battle who wanted to attend, U.S. or Confederate. About 25,000 did. The family went to the area of the battlefield known as devils den where a group of confederate vets were shootin' the breeze. One fella told how his dad had given him a new pocket knife when he left for the war. During the battle he had been detailed to take canteens to fetch water and due to the heavy firing had to crawl around the base of the boulders to the rear to find water losing the knife in the process. He was able to remember the way he had gone and the old vets started scratching around in the dirt and found the old now rusty knife where it had lain for fifty years.
