Construction: Convex, two-piece.
Approximate size: 23 mm.

Comments: Click on the Fisher's Hill link below for information about the battle where Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan [US] met Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early [CS] with a combined total of 38,944 troops. This Confederate infantry coat button will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War button or general relic collection.
