The part  about the (so-called, IMO) expert the bullet was shown to being 
able to  determine from looking at it that it was fired using a light powder 
charge,  and that this proves it was fired at close range, and that the nose 
damage  looks like it struck corset fabric like Jennie was wearing, is one of the 
more  out-and-out pieces of nonsense I've read in a while. What did the troops 
do,  dump out half the powder charge if they expected to be shooting somebody 
up  close? 

A whole confabulated secnario is them constructed built around  this babble, 
which the staff at the Jennie Wade house is supposedly going to  conduct 
ballistic tests to confirm!

The frightening thing is that once  displayed as "the bullet that killed 
Jennie Wade (or a replica of it)", people  will buy the whole story hook, line, 
and sinker. Bring their children and  grand-children to gaze upon it.  And I'm 
sure replicas of it will be  available for sale.  Corset marks and all.

Of course, if it is the  genuine article, perhaps the ghost tour folks can 
use it to conjure up her  spirit, and drum up even more business. 




Perhaps they will do DNA tests that will end up revealing yeast spores that  
will show what kind of bread darling Jennie was making.  Whole wheat?   
Pumpernickel?  Onion bagels?
