    There was a two volume DVD made a while back of another made for TV production called "George Washington". It had Patty Duke as Martha and Barry Bostwick as Washington. THought it was pretty good.

    Newbie Question

    Alexander also offers or offered, a tape to accompany his book. The most awesome part is where he tunes the lock to perfection, primes it with blackpowder, closes the frizzen, submerses it in a bucket of water, pulls it out - and - it fires!!!!! :bow: :bow:

    Newbie Question

    If you build just one muzzle-loader and shoot it, you are finished. Most of your sleeping and a good deal of your waking hours will be haunted by visions of NEW rifles - sleek, accurate, almost sensual in their elegance, ethereal in their beauty, awesome in their performance, and dripping with...

    Metal Finishing Question

    Prior to the later 1700's, my references tell me that rifle barrles were charcoal blued, not browned. I'm wondering how screw heads (butt plate, toe plate, etc) were treated at that time and how the lock itself was treated, if at all. Were they blued also, left in the white, or even browned...

    Rediculous "Last of Mohicans" Scene

    I saw that movie. Its one of my favorites. It wasn't precisely accurate, but it does convey the spirit of the times pretty well. And by Hollywood standards it was a standout. Its an excellant introduction to the era and American History for young kids. It presents flintlocks in a positive...
