General Sickles's Wound Marker

General Sickles's Wound Marker (StreetView)
During the Confederate assault on Gettysburg, General Daniel Sickles was wounded by a 12 lb cannonball in the right leg. He was sent behind the lines where the leg was amputated and returned to him. He eventually donated the amputated limb to the Army Medical Museum, later known as the National Museum of Health and Medicine, where it remains on display.
