Joining the British army at age 15, Ferguson was a well known marksman and the inventor of a breechloading rifle.

The Ferguson Rifle figured prominently in one of Louis L'Amour's novels of early America, lending its name to the title.

1776
English Major Patrick Ferguson patented this breech loading flintlock rifle in England, 1776. Only about 200 were made. The number '2' stamped on the trigger guard distinguishes this one from the others.
Walnut, iron, brass. L 124.5 cm, L (barrel) 86.4 cm
Morristown National Historical Park, MORR 2375

Morning Darksheare.

They may not have been good soldiers compared to the professional Armies of Europe, but the Colonials where good shots and not afraid to fight on their terms.

Ummm.. You sensed a disturbance in the force?

You sense that I'm holding back the weird, and let it flow in copious amounts on the DD/Freeople thread?

1982 Pres Reagan 1st UN Gen Assembly address ("evil empire" speech)

A great day for the Gipper, the U.S. and the world. It was the beginning of the end for Soviet Communism.
