Mike's publication also makes good reading, in the truck, while waitin' out a rain shower Sad, if ya have access.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

Don, Also in the same pile was The Pennsylvania-Kentucky Rifle by Henry J. Kauffman, and the 1908 Sears Catalog reprint, both also captured for a dollar each!

The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

RE: Good reading
yes kurt,
this is the perry book so often mentioned.
much good info, and you don't have to buy it.
interestingly he mentions the pitfalls of muzzle loading the breech loader.
the main potential danger was forgetting to put a primed case in the chamber prior to pouring the powder down the barrel!
just like I occasionally do when using the droptube.
keep safe,
bruce.

There is simply nothing as interesting as the history of Texas.......Read a few books about the period of 1800-1900 and you can easily see why Texans are Texans! It's in their genes! A great state with great folks! Thanks for the link....
