Historical Significance

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1-3, 1863, marked the turning point of the American Civil War. For three days, Union and Confederate forces clashed across the Pennsylvania countryside in what would become the war's bloodiest battle. The witness wood used in this pen comes from trees that stood silent sentinel during those fateful days, their rings marking time as history unfolded beneath their branches.
