PAPERS Mss. 4662 1955-1996 LSU Libraries Special Collections BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE Robert M. Reilly was born in Chicago in 1928. After attending Morgan Park Junior College (Chicago) for a year, he transferred to the University of Idaho, where he remained until 1949. Reilly married in 1951, before he joined the United States Navy, where he attained the rank of petty officer first class before his enlistment expired in 1955. He and his family returned to Chicago, where Reilly worked as a graphic artist until 1962, when they relocated to Baton Rouge. His career in Baton Rouge centered on his interest in military history, and included positions as Director of Research and Industrial Development for the Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce (1967-1973), owner of a military antique store (1973-1979), special consultant and researcher for the Louisiana Office of State Parks (1981-1982), and Curator of the Old State Capitol Building (1982-1986). Reilly died March 24, 1996, at the age of sixty-seven. Reilly’s memberships in military history societies included the Company of Military Historians, American Society of Arms Collectors, U.S. Naval Institute, International Naval Research Organization, the Civil War Round Table of Baton Rouge, the Pelican Arms Collectors Association, and many other state and regional associations related to antique weapons and military and naval history. He was an advocate for historic sites such as the Port Hudson Battlefield, the USS Kidd naval destroyer, and the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, Massachusetts. Robert Reilly’s works as a military artist and military historian were well received by the military history community. His maps and illustrations appeared in numerous articles and books. Reilly’s major works include U.S. Military Small Arms, 1816-1865 (1970), United States Martial Flintlocks (1986), and American Socket Bayonets and Scabbards (1990). These three works represent thirty years of research, and include nearly two thousand drawings by Reilly. 4 REILLY (ROBERT M.) PAPERS Mss. 4662 1955-1996 LSU Libraries Special Collections SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Photographs, film negatives, drawings, clippings, research notes, correspondence, papers, speeches, newsletters, maps, and brochures document Robert M. Reilly’s research, publications, and other activities related to United States firearms, the Civil War, and U. S. naval activities during World War II in the Pacific Ocean. The largest portion of this collection consists of research materials, arranged alphabetically by topic, in the original order as established by Reilly. In addition to the clippings, notes, and photographs, an abundance of correspondence (1955-1996) evidences the network of friends and associates who helped Robert Reilly compile his exhaustive reference sources. His experiences with publishing, historic preservation, and as an employee of the State of Louisiana are also reflected in this collection. Included are correspondence and map creations relating to his collaboration with Dr. T. Harry Williams for the Civil War book Hayes of the Twenty- Third. Biographical information is provided by items such as a newsletter printed by his fellow crewmembers on the USS Des Moines (1955), a letter announcing his appointment as a Fellow of the Company of Military Historians (1964), a 1988 resume, and miscellaneous correspondence. 5 REILLY (ROBERT M.)

    The Wickham Musket Brochure

    A Musket in a Privy (Text by Jan K. Herman) Fig. 1: A Musket in a Privy (not to scale: ALEXANDRIA ARCHAEOLOGY COLLECTION). To the casual observer who first saw it emerge from the privy muck on a humid June day in 1978, the battered and rusty firearm resembled little more than a scrap of refuse. The waterlogged stock was as coal black as the mud that tenaciously clung to it; corrosion and ooze obscured much of the barrel and lock. What was plainly visible and highly tantalizing to the archaeologists on the scene was the shiny, black flint tightly gripped in the jaws of the gun’s cocked hammer. At the time, no one could guess that many months of work would be required before the musket’s fascinating story could be told. Recovery: The musket’s resting place was a brick-lined shaft containing black fecal material and artifacts datable to the last half of the 19th century (see Site Map [link to “Site Map” in \\sitschlfilew001\DeptFiles\Oha\Archaeology\SHARED\Amanda - AX 1\Web]). Vertically imbedded in the sediments muzzle down, the gun resembled a chunk of waterlogged timber. It was in two pieces, fractured at the wrist.

    1Jock Haswell, the British Army: a Concise History (London: Thames and Hudson, 1975), 9- 10

    CHAPTER 3 THE SOLDIERS: THE BRITISH FORCES The British forces that fought against the Jacobite forces during the rebellions were essentially two different and diametrically opposed armies. Although armed and initially trained the same, the two forces were very different. The first force to fight in the rebellions was the militia, and the second was made up of the Regulars in the British Standing Army. The former was trained yet untested and out of practice; while the latter was brimming with experienced veterans from continental warfare. This chapter will begin with a brief history of the standing army in Britain which will explain the existence of the militia; then it will explore the weapons and tactics of the British forces which fought against the Highland Charge. The British land forces had their beginnings in the eleventh century A.D. when the Normans brought the feudal system to England. Under this system, the Anglo-Saxon fyrd developed. The fyrd was a local military force composed of all free landowners between the ages of sixteen and sixty who served approximately two months per year and who could be called upon for defense at a moments notice. King Alfred, who reigned in southern England from 871 to 899, divided the country into military districts and required landowners who owned a specified amount of land to arm themselves.1 This was the beginning of the English militia, which was relied upon for the defense of the home front for the next eight centuries. The militia units were called upon during the threat of invasions, internal insurrections, and for service in Ireland.2 For the large-scale wars during the Middle Ages however, armies were raised for the campaigns or the duration of 1Jock Haswell, The British Army: A Concise History (London: Thames and Hudson, 1975), 9- 10.

    Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.”

    Rifles Part III. Magazines In Motion: Revolvers, Turrets, & Harmonicas Revolving Magazines The nineteenth century was a time of great mechanical innovation, marked by thousands of inventive creators seeking patents for all manner of curiously-engineered devices. Firearms were no exception, and a glance at any “weird weapons” collection reveals dozens of oddities, often stamped between 1820–1860. Many of these utilized some form of revolving magazine, whether a cylinder, a cluster of barrels, a turret, or some form of rotary chain. This introduction offers a short history of the revolver, followed by profiles for the more unique, popular, or interesting repeaters that use some form of moving magazine. A more detailed history of revolvers and the Colt patent is found in “Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.” Pepperbox Guns The general mechanism of a revolving magazine evolved from the “pepperbox” gun of the early nineteenth century. A pepperbox gun features a cluster of smooth-bore barrels which are rotated into position and fired individually. Predating the advent of the cartridge, pepperbox guns are muzzle-loaded, and require a separate primer charge for each barrel. Pepperbox guns began fading in popularity before the Civil War, replaced by the more efficient percussion revolver. The Percussion Revolver One of the most significant innovations in firearm design, a revolver features a cylindrical magazine that holds each round in an individual chamber. The first modern revolver was designed by Elisha Haydon Collier in 1814, and was a self-priming flintlock with a manually- rotated cylindrical magazine. Having been exposed to the Collier revolver during a voyage abroad, Samuel Colt made the critical innovation that earned him one of the century’s most famous patents—a revolving cylinder that was mechanically rotated.
