Great explanation that even i can understand In addition to swords made by other manufacturers, military volunteers were offered a wide selection of roby weapons that would have included n.c.o.,musician, horse artillery, and cavalry swords for enlisted personnel A foot infantry officer sword, model 1850 Domestic manufacturers of pistols of course, smaller than the four outfits named above Dragoon revolvers like these and in still another part of texas (sisterdale) the sisterdale dragoon.44. Cooks tried to make it more palatable in recipes such as bully soup (hot cereal made from cornmeal and hardtack, boiled in water, wine and ginger) and skillygalee (hardtack soaked in water then fried with pork grease.) the hardness of hardtack was legendary and gave rise to many soldier jokes
I agree, some of the home grown edged weapons were very good. 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 The thug uses a sharps 1874 long range sharps rifle with scope. The confederates made very little coins during the civil war, but it's a bit more complicated than that
The confederates started making coins. 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? It makes stony hill far less of an advantage because parts of the plum run are indeed.a ready made fortification One that both sides had to deal with on multiple occasions
The wheatfield was a specialty killing zone in the world of battlefield geography and geology. 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.
