Which photo of the breastplate do you allude to. Jones, my ancestor, found a pair of steel breastplates and wore them beneath his blouse. ---- he felt a hard blow. A minie ball had struck the edge of one plate where it overlapped the other, bending it before glancing to strike the other plate and making a dent a half inch deep. The blow left only a bruise on Jone's chest, and in his opinion, the breastplates had been "God's hand to me reached down out of Heaven to save my life"""".".
