The collection is located at the visitors center at the Chickamauga battlefield. I’m stealing some of Craig’s thunder, as I’m sure he will be there for the sesquicentennial festivities in September.

    Shhhh! Don’t tell the Donovan. He might get a wee tad jealous.

    I want a coach gun! There is a company in Rock River, IL., that makes black powder gun kits, but even a kit of a coach gun is pushing $500.00.

    Have you seen the weapons in the collection at the Berman Museum in Anniston? Worth the trip, if you like that sort of thing.
