From the March 29th Canada Free Press "Search for Blood Stains Conducted at Bentonville Battlefield Civil War Hospital.
For years, it has been told visitors to the battlefield's Harper House that the stains on the floor of the structure are from the blood of the wounded and dying operated on at the site. It was the Union's XIV Corps' hospital in March 1865.
Nearly 600 Union and Confederate soldiers were treated in and around the home, many dying.
Recently, a forensic team took multiple samples from the 1850s floor and the crevices between the boards. By July it is hoped they will be able to verify the existence of blood.
