Spangler's Spring Walnut Witness Tree Executive Pen

This pen is made from the wood of a mighty walnut tree near Spangler's Spring at the southern end of Culp's Hill where on July 2, 1863 union and confederate troops fought for 10 hours during the Battle of Spangler's Spring.  Troops from Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia not only fought over ground, but also took water from Spangler's Spring.
