I just watched lonesome dove with my wife Because the movie was set in the late 1870s many of the actors carried civil war era weapons In one scene gus mccrae is engaged with one of blue duck's thugs in a long range shoot out
Were most muskets made from the same type of wood Being from michigan i know that huge amounts of lumber from michigan was being sold to the federal government, but i am not sure of the mix of hard woods and pine My next question is, did wood have to season before it could be used in muskets? Here is a pistol many have never seen or heard of That's why i'm sharing the information They are the tucker and sherrard 44cal
They are the same size and proportions as the colt 2nd model dragoon pistol Does anyone have in their collection the humble pocketknife from cw times I think this simple tool was one of the most useful for all I've seen pictures from the early war. The air actually made the soap lighter than water, causing it to float Proter and gamble thus marketed ivory as the soap that floats
