Excellent as always. I recently bought a 1855 Springfield made in 1859. Can't wait to fire it.

How on earth did they ever resupply their troops with so many different types of rounds and primer charges?!! It had to have been a absolute nightmare! I never even thought about that aspect.

Those smoothbores are more accurate than most people give them credit for. Most people think you can’t hit a barn beyond 50 yards and that is not even close to true. They can easily hit a man size target at 100 yards

The Civil war a supply nightmare for both sides of the war, but of course the South had the worst of this. Providing reports from the field, hearing these men's own words gives these video's their punch. Thank you So Much.

Indeed. They were not there but I can see how that happened. The 69th Pennsylvania, another Irish regiment, was there and it also had a green flag like the 69th New York. The 69th New York was in the Irish Brigade and it was at Gettysburg so I can see how it happened.

The Confederates modified the Model 1855 rifle by getting rid of the tape primer and substituting a percussion cap anvil. Henceforth, the Richmond Rifle of 1860 and 1861. The Union too with the Springfield Model 1861.

The 1816 Springfield is one, the 1795 is another. Mostly used in the first year of the war until replaced by the 61 Springfield.
