    Dude, fantastic video. At 35, I've been rather interested in civil war era history and equipment but this is beyond anything I've seen before. I can only imagine the joy of finding stuff like that. Thanks for spending the time to post this, I will most definitely be subscribing.

    That was very educational. You had my attention so much that I looked and listened instead of looking at all of the relics on the wall. 👍😆

    A great video explaining the fuses!! One minor nit, Jeff Davis was not Secretary of War (not defense) immediately prior to the war, he was a US Senator for Mississippi and giving speeches against Secession. He became Secretary of war in 1853 under Pierce and did a lot to improve the US Army, increasing its size and replacing the M1842 smooth bore muskets with Rifle-Muskets based on his experiences with rifles in the Mexican war. He returned to the Senate in 1857.

    As a US Air Force Weapons Specialist. That was a fascinating video. I thought they were just round balls shot through the air. They were so much more deadly. Thanks for your time and knowledge.

    Thanks Beau! I really hated history when I was young and in school. But now I find it more interesting I guess a little more hands on or more videos showing things like you do is more exciting than a text book. At least to me.
