    Rifles Part I. Muzzles, Muskets & Minié Balls Loading a Flintlock Rifle For the first part of the nineteenth century, professional armies fought with the same smooth- bore flintlock muskets as their fathers and grandfathers. It generally takes an experienced soldier between twenty and thirty seconds to properly load a flintlock musket. First, the user has to unseal his pre-measured cartridge of gunpowder, which is usually contained in a paper or linen packet which is bitten open. (Because of the salty nature of gunpowder, this builds up a terrible thirst over the course of a battle, making potable water an essential part of any armed conflict.) Once the gunpowder is poured into the muzzle, the shooter inserts the lead ball, which is encased in a lubricated bit of cloth called “wadding.” Pulling the ramrod from its forestock slot, the shooter tamps the ball home, ensuring firm contact with the propellant charge. The ramrod is then returned to the forestock—unless a panicked soldier leaves it inside the barrel, to be fired along with the bullet! To fire the musket, the hammer is pulled to half-cock. A small pinch of gunpowder is placed in the “priming pan” located on the right side of the musket. The pan is closed to secure the primer, which brings a metal flange called the “frizzen” into striking position in front of the hammer. The hammer is fully cocked, the musket is aimed, and the trigger is pulled. The hammer dashes the flint against the frizzen, simultaneously creating a spark and pushing open the pan to expose the primer.

  • I PRESENT ARMS: DISPLAYING WEAPONS in MUSEUMS a Thesis
    PRESENT ARMS: DISPLAYING WEAPONS IN MUSEUMS A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY by Derek Engle May 2018 Thesis Approvals: Dr. Seth Bruggeman, Thesis Advisor, Department of History Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin, Department of History i ABSTRACT Museums have always had and displayed weapons, including firearms. As museums have evolved, so too has exhibit design and practice. However, many weapons displays have not kept up with changing practices, and many of them are now irrelevant, have limited audiences, or are unhelpful to the broader public. Simply displaying weapons by type or as art is not enough anymore, and keeping them in storage does not take advantage of their potential. Also, many museums are increasingly trying to become places for public discourse about current issues. They often create exhibits meant to be relevant to today and promote discussions about controversial topics. Many museums are also trying to make their collections and objects more accessible to the public. Innovative displays of firearms could help them accomplish both these tasks. The battle over gun control and gun rights is often more of a shouting match than reasoned discourse. Museums could use historic firearms as an opportunity to help facilitate a more responsible conversation about the issue. These firearms are typically not as emotionally charged as modern guns, and could be used as a pathway into the gun debate if displayed creatively. Guns, historic or not, are often not very approachable objects for many people. This can be for a variety of reasons, including their associations with masculinity, power, and nationality.

    The Friends & Neighbors of Putnam Memorial State Park June 2007 NewsLetter Bunker Hill Flag Bethel/Redding CT June 1775 - British Troops In Boston Under Siege The American Revolution began with the first blood drawn at Lexington and Concord. Those confrontations caused more than 20,000 militia men from New England to gather at Cambridge, Massachusetts. These men were not professional soldiers, but rather farmers, craftsmen, fishermen and merchants from towns and villages. Almost none wore uniforms. Many had no guns. They all answered only to their immediate captain or major from back home. There was no overall military command hierarchy. The senior officers from the different states did have something in common, they gained their military experience in the French & Indian War. In fact most of these officers served with many of the British officers who were now holed up in Boston …. under siege. Gen. Artemus Ward of Massachusetts was the most senior commander. Gen. Israel Putnam from Connecticut was the other senior leader. There was no national army organization at this point. Boston under siege. The British were hemmed in by American troops Gen.George Washington was enroute to surrounding the peninsula. However they still controlled the sea. Cambridge to form the Continental Army. In the meanwhile, the most senior officers on the scene did the best they could to hold the British cooped up in Boston. There were several critical locations to guard and protect: Boston Neck at Roxbury, Dorchester Heights, Bunker Hill and Cambridge, where most of the provincial troops were quartered. In June, intelligence from Boston said that The British were planning to take over Dorchester Heights and Bunker’s Hill; both of which looked down upon Don Troiani Boston.

  • United States Surcharges: Continental Ownership of Arms and Accoutrements
    Pages2-32 9/16/03 8:37 AM Page 18 United States Surcharges: Continental Ownership of Arms and Accoutrements Rex Kessler Arms collectors have long been attracted to arms and accoutrements associated with the American Revolution, particularly those with surcharges. Surcharges are collectible both because of their rarity, and their documentation of an arms’ or accoutrements’ military use. My father-in-law, the late William Richard Gordon, was passionate about sur- charges, and his collection includes excellent examples. Between my father-in-law’s passion, the many examples I have seen exhibited by Society members, and the many examples we all have seen on our tours, I became interested in these markings. This article is a summary of my findings. The need to identify arms and accoutrements as conti- nental property was based on a shortage of these items after the Spring of 1776. The shortage was multifactoral, and although a lack of production is usually cited by historians, States and purchasing weapons from private individuals1. important contributory factors included soldiers not main- However, as the 1777 campaign commenced, weapons were taining the weapons, a lack of sufficient field armorers to scarce and foreign procurement of weapons remained prob- perform repairs, and the need for short-term militia soldiers lematic.
