The history channel did a neat program on weapons of the Rev. War. Ferguson's rifles were not only mentioned but shown. They looked to be at least a generation ahead of anything else on the battlefield. Expensive but if the Brits were not married to the Brown Bess, things may have turned out differently.

Dan, I know I speak for Casimir Pulaski when I say he would have been happy to have been shot in the back and killed. It would have been a lot better than the way he died. As I'm sure you know he took frags to the groin and the wound got infected. Die of gangrene in the groin, that's some really bad juju.

Stay healthy,
