    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.

    c I I / / •; 4 PL4 C3MI S S 'I S0UTHTIARK Southwark, called Wiccaco by the Swedes who settled it, is the oldest part of Philadelphia. Originally an independent borough lying just below the southern boundary of the city proper, Southwark was named for its English counterpart which was similarly placed south of the City of London. Appropriately enough, this part of Philadelphia contains many of the City's oldest houses. On the west side of Front Street between South and Christian Streets, for example, thirty-eight houses have been certified as worthy of preservation by the Philadelphia Historical Commission, Of these, at least twenty-one were built before 1775, and several more before 1800. Similarly, in one block of Kenilworth Street-- that between Front and Second Streets---sixteen houses still standing were built by 1765. One of these, No. lO+ Kenilworth, waiJ owned and occupied in the 1750s by Samuel Harding, the master woodcarver whose handiwork graces the interior of Independence Hall. Another house on this same street, No. 110, was built by John Palmer, bricklayer, the builder of St. Paul's Church, 217 South Third Street. Among the most interesting of Southwark's architectural treasures are the little two-and-a-half story houses at the Pemberton Street entrance to Workman Place. The letters "G M" and the figures t11748t1 written with bricks in the gable walls facing Pemberton Street indicate the date of the buildings and their original owner, George Mifflin the grandfather of Thomas Mifflin, Governor of Pennsylvania, 1790-1799. The Place itself was named for a later owner, John Workman, lumber merchant, who purchased the property from the Mifflins and built the three houses on Front Street, Nos.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

GA‐2255‐09‐015 NAVAL ENGAGEMENTS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY AND 1812 WARS IN MARYLAND BY MARYLAND MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY PROGRAM MARYLAND HISTORICAL TRUST AND NEW SOUTH ASSOCIATES, INC. FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT VOLUME I – TEXT SEPTEMBER 2013 For future copies: Kristen L. McMasters Government Technical Representative DOI – National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program 1201 Eye Street NW (2255) 6th floor Washington, DC 20005 This material is based upon work assisted by a grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of the Interior. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program (MMAP) wishes to express its appreciation to the American Battlefield Protection Program, especially Kristen McMasters and Paul Hawke, for their guidance, advice and patience as we worked through unfamiliar bureaucratic processes, vast geographic areas, changes in staff, equipment failures, and inclement weather. Evie Cohen, the Maryland Historical Trust’s Chief, Operations Management/Grants Manager, managed all the finances for the project and ensured that fiscal reports were completed and submitted on time; a daunting task for which we are eternally grateful. We would also like to thank former MMAP staff member Brian Jordan for his efforts, early in the project, in crafting and submitting the various work plans requiring approval to begin fieldwork. Like many agencies, MMAP is understaffed and has been operating with only 2/3 of the required personnel. Therefore, the assistance provided by the large number of volunteers, many of them loyal supporters for years, is more than gratefully received, it is critical to the undertaking and completion of most projects.

  • Forms of War 1600-1815“ Is the Title of the Bavarian Army Museum’S Latest Permanent Exhibition, Opened in 2019 and Housed in the New Castle of Ingolstadt
    „Forms of War 1600-1815“ is the title of the Bavarian Army Museum’s latest permanent exhibition, opened in 2019 and housed in the New Castle of Ingolstadt. With exhibits from the museum‘s own collection and some important loans, it illustrates the forms of warlike violence in the early modern period. Focal points are the fighting in the major battles on open fields, the siege and defence of fortresses, and the so-called “small war”, which placed a heavy burden on the countryside and the population in the vicinity of the major conflicts. The book is an introduction to the subject and also provides some information about the redesign of the 1815 museum rooms. All the exhibited items are documented in text and pictures, most of them are published here - for the first time. 1600 FORMS R WA of of FORMS WAR ISBN 978-3-96049-079-1 ISBN 978-3-96049-079-1 1600-1815 9 783960 490791 > Forms of War 1600-1815 Forms of War 1600-1815 Tobias Schönauer and Daniel Hohrath with a contribution by Marian Füssel Catalogues of the Bavarian Army Museum Volume 19 Edited by Ansgar Reiß Originally published in German in 2019.
