We'd only hep o'selfs to a few ears o' corn!

Ole P certainly killed several Redcoats before he took a bayonet in lower back. As you know, we gave no quarter for a long time. After my grandfather died, some distance relative got his tomahawk he carried in the war.




I take it you reenact? I was a serious CW reenactor from 80's to about 98. I actually got to be a part of the movie Gettysburg. My CW relative walked across that field during Pickett's charge. It was exciting to do the same thing.
