The Firing Line
As always, I like to share a little glimpse into your editor’s life. Since the last issue there has been some good news to share. My wife and I have adopted a new black lap puppy. As many of you know I am a mental health and substance use therapist, well this new puppy is being trained to be used in my services as a therapy dog. On the shooting front I am pleased to announce that I have joined the ranks of professional athletes as my wife likes to say. I have become a sponsored shooter. I now shoot for Team Muzzle-loader.com. If any of you decide to make the trip to Friendship for the NMLRA nationals, I’ll see you there.
Can you sense it? The leaves are changing, the nights are getting cooler, that’s right its time for the Fall Nationals. This national I’ll be celebrating my 35th birthday, as my dad likes to remind me, he has only missed one national it’s the one I was born during. I always told
This issue is the large one, the post national issues always are. We have some great articles and some fantastic pictures taken by all our photography staff. Special thanks to Allissa Weber who designed the photo layout for this issue. Thank you to all of our writers for this issue as well. We have a wealth of knowledge in this organization, and I love helping it be passed onto the next Thegeneration.N-SSAmeans
so much to me, since becoming your editor I’ve had numerous opportunities to be on podcasts and guests on webinars talking about the N-SSA. I hope to continue doing this outreach to grow our great organization. Like other shooting organizations we are growing. But to continue growing we need to reach out to the next generation of shooters. I implore all of you, help grow our sport. Teach the youth of today the joys of shooting black powder. We have the most unique sport in the country, we need to let others know about it.
him that was poor planning on his part. As a child I loved having birthdays at the fort, I would brag to my friends about the cool mini vacation I was going on for my birthday. As an adult, well not much has changed. I get to celebrate my birthday shooting around friends.
Until next time. Keep your powder dry and your shot X’s Eddie Davenport 11366V Skirmish Line Editor.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the Northeast Region for the mistake regarding the patches that were approved by the Board of Directors, and let you know that new patches are being made for the teams of the Northeast Region who hosted this past Spring Nationals.
Chuck NationalKindleCommander
Chuck
Let me start out by saying we had a very productive August Board meeting, and thanks to all those people who attended.
From the National Commander
Weather permitting, we will once again hold the Membership Meeting at Memorial Park. Also, you will notice that the teams on each position will be staggered to allow everybody to be able to time and safety on the position they are on. This means you will not have to switch positions for timing and safety. I realize this is a change, but you will not have to travel to find a place to time and safety, or make any arrangements with other positions.

again be having only one Phase of the Musket match again this fall. It worked out well in the spring, and if the number of teams that are registered allow us to do this, we will continue.
The NRA Muzzleloader Training Program has been successful, and we can once again continue to recruit by allowing interested spectators and other people shoot our firearms at regional skirmishes to get a feel for the sport, and hopefully aid in the recruitment of new members for the Weorganization.willonce
Doc’s place will be open for business starting at noon on Wednesday, and we are looking for volunteers to help work at the store. We have installed a new “Point of Sales” which will allow us to take credit cards, which will hopefully generate some extra sales.
Fall Nationals will be upon us before you know it. I wish everybody safe travels, and look forward to seeing all of you there. Stay safe, and be well,

She made all underpinnings herself, with the exception of a purchased corset; made her cage crinoline, made her under and over pett icoats, chemise with many tucks, her belt and added a reproduction belt buckle, and had on shoes that were fashioned after an original pair.

Taking photos at a National Skirmish is work; especially if you’re also a skirmisher.
A Note from the Photographers
I’d also like to take this time to SINCERELY THANK the crew of photographers for this last national - in no particular order:
If you want to see more photos - please go to: n-ssa.smugmug.com - any proceeds from sales on this site will be donated back to the N-SSA. We are working on filling in the gaps for some years, but again, it takes time to do this. If you have any photos (or videos) that you’d like to have posted here, please get in touch with Thanksme.in advance,
Allissa

Lis Cole, 12th PA
There are overlapping events on multiple ranges at one time. I’d like to ask for a bit of grace from you, our fellow skirmishers, when waiting for photos to be taken, or especially when you’re asking for a particular photo to be taken.
Niki Bethke, 3rd Maryland
Walt ‘JR’ Zdon, 2nd Maryland
Correlating these images and captions for a post-National issue also takes TIME. A lot of it. So, i’m asking you, fellow skirmishers, to be kind to the folks that are VOLUNTEERING their time at a National (or any other skirmish) to take photos. Like any one of the many other ‘staff’ positions - it’s a thankless job.
Youth Programs
These tokens are sponsored by different groups within the organization.
If you’d like to sponsor the tokens for an upcoming National Skirmish, please contact the Youth Program Chairperson, Travis Keener.

Originallyevents.
N-SSA Tenderfoot BB Gun match tokens are given out to kids that participate in both the individual and team
the idea was that the tokens are redeemable (by the kids) at the Ruriatns for a free root beer float, but they are also redeemable for an ice cream.
In Memory of our friend, Dickie Dodd
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Prize Table in the past, and if you have anything to donate for an upcoming Veterans Skirmish, we always welcome the items.

The Veterans Meeting and drawing for teams is held in the lower-level of the Museum/Historical Center. This is traditionally known as the Veterans Building.

Colin Scanlan, a close friend of Dickie’s was the Skirmish Director for the 51st Veterans Skirmish
The weather was perfect this year....not too hot, not too humid. It was the most mild-mannered weekend for a Veterans Skirmish that I can remember. There are fun events during indivduals, such as a poker hand, and a battleship game, as well as several ham shoot-offs.
Skirmish Line Fall 2022 57
The next one is mid-July 2023 - plan on being there!
A Saturday afternoon creek party commences following the team drawing; dinner at the Ruritans Saturday evening, and later Saturday evening an “Artillery Punch” party is hosted by the 3rd Maryland on Artillery Row.
If you have never been to a Veterans Skirmish, please consider coming down and having some fun. This event is musket only, and FUN only! One of the best parts of this skirmish is meeting new people and shooting with them.
I’ve received emails, notes, and calls from N SSA members who are thinking about the longterm future and how they can help to perpetuate the organization. Many of our members are at the point of writing up wills, estate plans, trusts, and bequests. We’ve been already receiving some donations from members’ retirement accounts and investment accounts (a good tax move) and now people are beginning to look for ways to include donations to the N SSA in their estate plans (some already have). There are numerous ways to do that some simple and some complex. For now, I’ll address some of the simple methods that anyone can use to support the N SSA when the time comes.

We’ve been already receiving some donations from members’ retirement accounts and investment accounts (a good tax move) and now people are beginning to look for ways to include donations to the N-SSA in their estate plans (some already have). There are numerous ways to do that – some simple and some complex. For now, I’ll address some of the simple methods that anyone can use to support the N-SSA when the time comes.
Using the proper language in your legal documents is very important, and although I can make suggestions this is the type of thing that your estate lawyer and/or fin ancial advisor should be involved in.
As I write this article, I am preparing for the Fall Nationals. I hope we can all look back on our years of skirmishing, and the camaraderie, competitions and friendly campfires that have made the N-SSA such a unique and integral part of our lives. I am in my 27th year as a skirmisher, but in the nine years prior to that I also came to Ft. Shenandoah numerous times as a guest and often camped out in a tent. I know I speak for many of you when I say that I want to see this organization continue for many years to come, and to provide the same experiences for many more of our family, friends, and fellow skirmishers who come to skirmish after we are gone.
A BASIC BEQUEST
There are many credible sources for information about estates, financial plans, and charitable giving. Charles Schwab Company published a short article at the following link that is aimed mostly at people with no direct heirs, but it also can apply to many of the rest of us: https://www.schwab.com/resource-center/ insights/content/estate-planning-people-with-no-heirs?cmp=em-XCU. You can email myself, and I can reply to it with the live link if you’d find that easier than trying to type this one in yourself.
That said, here are some examples of language you might want to use when updating your estate plan or will:
If you’d like to discuss any of these options, or any other ideas you have regarding a donation, please feel free to email me at wvjordan@aol.com, or call me at 703-407-2445.
Would you like to leave something behind for the N -SSA when you pass on? Things to think about include how much mo ney (or liquid assets) you would want to leave as a bequest . This is usually done in terms of either a dollar value, or as a percentage of an account (or of total assets) Sometimes even as a combination of both approaches. Second, what specific assets or accounts do you want to use for your bequest? For instance, leaving a pre tax retirement account like an IRA or 401k can be much more tax efficient than using after tax assets Third, do you want to leave your bequest for any specific purpose , or for general operations?
PROUD DONORS TO THE N SSA
Same as above, but the last line is replaced with – This Fund is to be used by the organization for the following purpose(s) ___ .
Using the proper language in your legal documents is very important, and although I can make suggestions this is the type of thing that your estate lawyer and/or financial advisor should be involved in. That said, here are some examples of language you might want to use when updating your estate plan or will:
Please use the return envelope that is included in this edition of the Skirmish Line to send in any size donation that you may want to share with the N-SSA. And please fill in your email address as legibly as you can. I am trying to set up a database of donor’s email addresses to be able to share relevant information with.
As I write this article I am preparing for the Fall Nationals.

Meanwhile, we have plenty of current needs for cash donations. A top priority is the replacement of the AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) that are posted around Fort Shenandoah. We have several now, but they are aging, and the manufacturer no longer supports them. There have been a few incidents in recent years when a medical emergency struck and the AED was quickly used, probably preventing a death. The goal is to have at least four new AEDs onsite as soon as possible. Research is being done on which ones are most appropriate for the N-SSA to purchase, so the cost has not been nailed down yet but the anticipated price is about $1800.00 each.

I bequeath to the North-South Skirmish Association, EIN 52-1169278, a 501 c 3 tax-exempt non-profit organization located in Virginia, the sum of $_________________ (or percentage _____% of my total probate/trust estate, or property described herein). This Fund is to be used by the organization as it deems advisable.
We are also looking for funds to build an ADA compliant ramp to the entrance to the Executive Secretary’s office, to finish paying off the new Batwing Lawnmower, and to do more road and bathroom repairs.

BAKE THE COBBLER: Set the lid on the Dutch oven. Place the Dutch oven on a ring of seven coals, then evenly space 14 coals on top of the lid (this will create equivalent heat of a 350°F oven). Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
MAKE THE FILLING: Core the apples and cut into slices. Add them to the Dutch oven and sprinkle with ¼ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Stir to coat the apples in the cinnamon and sugar. MAKE THE TOPPING: Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt) in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly meal begins to form. Add the milk and gently combine to create a dough.
ASSEMBLE THE COBBLER: Tear off bits of dough and place on top of apples. You want little pockets of dough spread evenly around, not one large blob of dough in the middle.

Judy Stoneburner, Executive Secretary reported that the membership numbers are looking great. New members, late members and returning members are coming in daily. As of today, we are only 36 members short of the end of year membership numbers from 2021. Everyone did a great job with recruiting. This year we have had a few issues with members and their camper personal property tax bills. This is a reminder, that if a member’s camper is on the property for 6 months or more, it can be taxed by Frederick County. If campers are traded, sold or removed, it is the member’s responsibility to notify Frederick County, not the association. As a reminder, Tim Scanlan has been very gracious assisting members with removal of old campers. Please keep in mind, the removal of campers is not his responsibility or the associations. As long as the camper is on the property, it is taxable. Again, removal of campers is the member/units ultimate responsibility. Identification is required to be on campers left on the property, this is to include the name of the member and their membership number.

For those who may be interested in replicating this unique Harper’s Ferry Rifle Model 1855 Type 4-B Rifle, included for your convenience is the latest version of the Small Arms inspection sheet for this rifle.
September 2022 John Holland Small Arms Staff Officer Chairman, Small Arms Committee
Replicating this Rifle is a bit more attractive to some people because you do not have to hunt around for a patch box set, extra screws, nor do you have to modify a butt plate to allow for the tab on the lid, much less inlet the stock. In addition to that, with the increasing difficulty of finding parts it’s looking better to me all the time!

U.S. Harper’s Ferry Model 1855 Rifle
The Harper’s Ferry series of Model 1855 Rifles have always been popular for use in the N-SSA. They are a sturdy design and because of their weight they are much easier to hold on target in windy conditions. These were the only Rifles made by the Federal Government which included the Maynard priming system. The tape primer was a great idea, but in reality it didn’t function as well had been anticipated when used in the field in the various inclement weather conditions. The N-SSA’s Small Arms Committee (SAC) was the first group to break these Rifles down into “Types”. Much of the classification work done was through the efforts of our very own member, Paul Davies. The N-SSA ended up with a Classification of 5 Types of Harper’s Ferry Model 1855 Rifles.
These Classifications by the N-SSA were done some 30 odd years ago. Since then another variant of the Harper’s Ferry Model 1855 Rifle has been discovered! This discovery was also a result of Paul Davies’ unrelenting research efforts in not only the National Archives, but also in other numerous sources around the country. The existence of this Harper’s Ferry 1855 Rifle was unknown to George Moller when he wrote Volume 3 of “American Military Shoulder Arms, 1840-1865.” Therefore it is not included in this otherwise landmark work. However, when John Willyard wrote his book, “U.S. Model 1855 Series of Small Arms”, the existence of this Harper’s Ferry Rifle had been identified. John also devised his own classification system, which differs a bit from what the N-SSA had created years ago. His term for this Rifle is a “Type 3”. The N-SSA has opted to give it a sub-classification term by taking the original version, which to us is a “Type 4”, and making it a “Type 4-B”. The SAC felt that to change our entire pre-existing classifications after all of these years would only serve to confuse everyone.
Now, “What is this new version of a ’55 Rifle?” you may ask. It is an iron bound type, with a short brass nose cap….and no patch box! The Federal Government had decided that the Patch Box on the Harper’s Ferry 1855 Rifle was unnecessary and ordered it to be removed. This was a cost saving measure because it eliminated a number of parts, extra machining, and hand fitting steps in the production of the 1855 Rifle. Many people were not happy about it because the Patch Box, which was known to the soldiers as the “Catch Box” was where they commonly stored a couple of extra rolls of tape primers. After only 199 of these arms were built, the Patch Box was restored to the arm and all ensuing Harper’s Ferry 1855 Rifles had patch boxes!

While preparing the kids for the upcoming program Dennis Goodin, Animal Education Director, and Veteran Skirmisher, gets the kids excited by giving a mini history lesson behind the projectile and the mortar. After Dennis’ lesson, he, and the other instructors, including Executive Director and Veteran Skirmisher, Selena Goodin, Allison Woods OLC Education Director, Karen Morris and Veteran Skirmisher and volunteer, Rex Cockerham, present the lesson from the scientific perspective.
At Allison Woods, located in Statesville, N.C., the site of the Carolina Region’s home range, students of all ages learn about kinetic and potential energy, forces and motion, properties of matter, and math by participating in a program with a twist conducted by Allison Woods Outdoor Learning Center!
mini lesson he covers the history of the technology he is using. He states that the main use for mortars being used was to lob projectiles over walls to attack the enemy on the other side. Dennis uses the National Anthem “…the bombs busting in air…” to give students a mini lesson on the National Anthem in relation to the mortar, sometimes the kids will sing along. Dennis explains that the Mortar was used as a siege gun to shoot over fortifications and that the projectile would explode in the air to send shrapnel raining down onto the enemy. It is amazing that most students and many times parents and teachers do not understand the impact that the mortar had in the war, and it opens their eyes to what may have happened during that period in our nation’s history. Students make predictions on how high the projectile will rise in the air and the distance it will go based on the amount of powder before the mortar is fired. Flags are placed on the runway in fifty feet increments up to 1,000 feet, so the students can visualize how far the projectile may go. Instructors explain to the students how the black powder begins in a solid state, turns to gas when ignited, which propels the projectile into the air.

TEACHING MATH WITH A HISTORICAL TWIST MATH WITH MORTIMER
Allison Woods Outdoor Learning Center will normally have 200-400 students, ranging in age from Pre-K to Graduate School, pass through the front gate each week. There they transported into the beauty of nature where environmental education programs are taught. During their visit, students are allotted three 45-minute programs varying in topics. The assembly program, such as Math with Mortimer is held at the airstrip where students are safely positioned behind the instructors to ensure that all safety measures are Includedfollowed.inDennis’
Elementary school students learn the difference between kinetic and potential energy as instructors discuss how the projectile goes from potential to kinetic without ever losing the energy behind it. Graphing, travel speed and distance when the projectile is shot is also involved in the lesson. After the range has been cleared, students measure the exact distance the projectiles traveled and graph the data using a line graph. Before departure, teachers are given the data obtained to take back to the classroom and expand the Thelesson.mission of Allison Woods Outdoor Learning Center is to re-ignite a curiosity and respect for nature through education. Math with Mortimer re-ignites the curiosity to learn and expand students’ knowledge about mathematics with an incredibly unique historical Thistwist.has become an increasingly popular program and students are extremely excited about this program.

Known for continually thinking outside the box, Allison Woods Outdoor Learning Center’s staff and volunteers created a popular program entitled Math with Mortimer. The program uses firing an N-SSA approved mortar to instruct kids about diverse topics covering their essential standards in science. The staff and volunteers give students a lesson in history and modern mathematics they will never forget.
“I can appreciate what you’re saying, Phil. We’re both in agreement that less and less history seems to be taught in schools and, it has been leading to the ignorance of History.” Our phone conversation terminated soon afterward. I called him back a half hour later. “Okay...suppose that I start sketching a sequel to my novel. I could introduce another character-- named
What a surprise it was when, after Phil had finished reading his copy of For The Want Of A Musket, he called me and asked if I would look over his hand-written memoirs. Of course, I was delighted to do so!
Both of my brothers were drafted into the US Army in 1942. Jack was first to be drafted and Phil got his “Greetings” letter one week after graduating from high school. Phil fought in the European Theatre and Jack, in the Pacific Islands.
I thought of those parting words now, as I tried to frame a reasonable answer to my friend’s query. “Well Pete, it took me a while but here is my self-published novel; a salute to skirmishers and skirmishing; for better or for worse. But life’s too short to spend much more of it, pecking away at a keyboard for days at a time. It’s like working in an office…. without a paycheck.” As it turned out, Fate…and the Fickle Finger of Fiction… were not yet done with me.
After a needed break, I called Phil. He seemed pleased by my enthusiastic comments and my offer to digitize his penned text so that he might make minor changes as desired. It was then that we had our first disagreement, which however, led to a series of decisions, directions, and discoveries.
“Hey Phil, I got an idea! Since self-publishing my novel, I learned a good bit about what’s needed to prep manuscripts and, have established contacts to make it into a book. From what I’ve read already, you’ve got the makings of a great autobiographic history. I would….”“No, you won’t!” Phil interrupted. “My purpose for writing the memoirs is to share them with a few friends and interested family members.” After moments of silence, he continued; “I didn’t do anything special that hadn’t also been done by many thousands of other men and women…and I was one of those who lived to come home, thanks be to God.”
I’d forced a smile and confirmed that I intended to continue skirmishing and competing with the U.S. Muzzle Loading Team. My parting words to the man and Corporate America were “…and I will try writing the Not-So-Great American Novel!”
Pete bought one of the first copies of my historic/Sci-Fi novel that were sold at Fort Shenandoah last year. Since then, he’d asked the same question more than once and, I’d only replied with a shrug. I finally tried to frame an answer to his question. Memory flashed back to my retirement shindig.
A Very Special Musket
Sutler’s Row was alive with uniformed and casually dressed men and women clad in fair weather garb. Sutlers were happily scrambling to serve their cheerful customers. Shouting kids darted about while smaller ones watched from their strollers. It was another great day at a Spring National!
by Jerry Sciortino
We’d just joined in to unhinge the shutters from Bucky’s Place. I reached into a box and hauled out a handful of copies of my first skirmish novel, For The Want of A Musket. A passing teammate paused while I arranged them on their rack. He asked; “So Jerry, what are you gonna do for an encore?”
overseas, my brothers still said little related to combat life except to tell amusing anecdotes.
Phil’s memoirs arrived a few days later. They were neatly handwritten on yellow, legal-sized pad paper. I was filled with pride to note how well-scripted was his military life story; described and integrated among those historic events. I found myself almost drawn along… gripped by those near pen strokes. He began by describing his first days at the Induction Center and thru Basic Training. Next, he was climbing down a rope ladder from a troopship onto a Higgins Boat with the rest of his squad. They were soon underway, heading for the beaches at Normandy. They kept their heads low as German sniper rounds snapped over their heads and clanged against their steel hull. Then the boat’s ramp dropped down onto the sand and the men ran toward their collection point above the beach. German snipers and machine gunners rained fire down upon them while American P-38 Lightning fighter planes strafed the enemy positions as they ran!
My soon-to-be-former boss asked me; “What are you going to do with all that spare time now…besides playing with your guns?”

Happily, both combat veterans came back home and soon, both went off to pursue their interrupted lives. Life “on the home front” had been difficult for their seven-year-old kid brother during their absence. It wasn’t much better afterward. Owing to our age differences and life experiences, a communications gap had been forged between us siblings. Neither brother spoke much to me about what they’d seen or done. Years later, despite my having served a three-year hitch in the Regular Army
In my modest collection of Civil War Era firearms, I have a US Model 1863 Type 1 Rifled Musket bearing Remington markings with 1865 on the lockplate and, 1864 on the breech. I’d purchased it from Bucky Malson who knew I wanted a threebander in excellent condition for US Team competitions. I’d never seen one with such markings and neither had Bucky. My two most knowledgeable friends pertaining to Civil War firearms, were John Holland and Bob Fisch. John of course served admirably as N-SSA Small Arms Committee Chairman for many years. I ran into John at a skirmish and asked if he had ever encountered a musket so marked. He recalled having read or hearing something about Remington producing Model 1863 3-band rifles toward the end of the war, but hadn’t actually seen one. He’d check his reference library when he returned home and would be in touch if he had success.
Nowbrother.the
He continued; “…and while I’m at it, you’d like to know if there was any specific mention of Model 1863 rifled muskets with Remington 1865 lockplates?”
Not until I ran across the scientific “nugget” called Kirlian Energy did I feel it could be possible to stretch that tiny bit of real science into being the key for the characters in my first novel to travel to other timelines. The search began for a link between U.S. Muskets and France; before or during World War Two!
bits of information he uncovered, Bob conjectured that these were included in a shipment of U.S. Government “obsolete” weaponry sold and shipped to France in How1870.
Mr. Robert W. Fisch, now deceased, was the Curator of Arms at the West Point Museum. Bob was an exceptionally talented gun builder, restorer, firearms expert, historian and skirmisher. He was, maybe still is, the World Record Holder in the Cominazzo (flintlock smoothbore pistol) Event: all wrapped up in one understated and humorous friend. We first competed together with the U.S. Int’l. Muzzle Loading Team in Switzerland in 1977. I spoke of my “plight” with Bob. He stared at me: his sad, hound dog eyes attentive over a large, droopy mustache. I began feeling slightly uncomfortable. Then he began laughing: “Let’s see if I got this right, Jerry…You want to know if there are any records that mention U.S. percussion muskets being sold, loaned to or, smuggled into France before WWII, right?” I nodded.
Manufacturing delays were encountered due to re-tooling, completion of priority work and perhaps, the expectation of the war’s end. It is uncertain how many of these rifles were delivered to the U.S Arsenals and, how many of them actually found their way into the hands of Union troops before the war ended. However, it is known that some of these muskets were never issued to the U.S. Army. They were sold as War Surplus: Some of them were sold to the government of France. These bear the Remington’s name, address and year 1865, stamped on the Linkedlockplates.”withother
“It was one of the U.S. Model 1863 Type 1 Rifles that had been contracted by the U.S Government to be built by Remington’s Ilion, NY. (dates and quantities unknown)

I knew that I must have been wearing a sheepish grin when I replied, “That’s a great idea, now that you mention it, Charlie ABrown!”fewdays later, Bob called and provided me with the following Theinformation.fullstory
Phil--who goes thru some of your real-life experiences; would you allow me to use them that way?” I held my breath. “Let me read what you want to write beforehand.” He sighed, “If you’ll agree to alter or edit out anything I might find disagreeable, then you’ll have my okay.” replied my stubborn
ball was in my court. How could I link a character and a musket from the 1860’s to a character in the 1940’s? I hoped to find some nuggets of truth, whether in form of documents or an artifact. Establishing even a tenuous link between the two time periods might make a novel more readily thought of as Science Fiction rather than Fantasy.
behind this U.S. Model 1863 Rifled Musket is largely unknown. Bob offered some learned conjecture about the actual small production batch from which this rifle came. However, this article is written to add a page to the rifle’s history and, the influence it had in the writing of my second novel: Where Have All The Muskets Gone?
fortunate it was that a rare and obscure musket survived an untold amount of usage and 150-year storage. How incredibly fortunate that, because of its excellent condition, it attracted the attention of its present custodian. Even more so, how fortunate that the musket would win its custodian two International Gold Medals and influence the writing and storyline of a novel. So--did I use this vital information, provided by my two firearms expert friends in writing Where Have All the Muskets Gone? Absolutely!

Not only would another novel serve to remind its readers of the sacrifices of their grandparent’s generation, but it would also extend the knowledge of present-day antique arms competitors, collectors and historians.
For skirmishers who enjoy the endless discussions about the Civil War; the guns, battles and tactics, there would be more “Campfire Fodder” for them to chew over. For those who enjoy ghost stories and the vicarious pleasures of sharing the adventures of time traveling skirmishers, they would not be disappointed.
Since the novel is a sequel, at least some of the characters from Book I reappear in Book II, later in life. Newly introduced is the character Philip Campbell, the grandson of the main character. It is he who lands on the beach in Normandy, and it is his life that is saved by a French Freedom Fighter who’d taken up his father’s well-used muzzle loading rifle against the German Army. Later, more of that arm’s shipment from America would help to save a town marked for destruction.

N-SSA Costume Committee News:
When you return to Ft. Shenandoah for the Fall Nationals this year and as often as possible thereafter, plan to stop by the History Center and see what else is new and interesting about the N-SSA.
Among other things, the N-SSA is about history: Competitions with a wide variety of Civil War-era firearms; units and uniforms of the Civil War; and the honoring of our forefathers and veterans. And what better place to tell those stories than the N-SSA’s History Center! From the organization’s inception in 1950 to today, the many diverse components of what makes the N-SSA so interesting and workable are detailed and their stories presented at the History Center near the barn at Ft. Shenandoah.
During a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 20, 2022, Commander Chuck Kindle spoke about the Association’s history and the rededication of the museum after several closed seasons following needed water damage repairs. He urged N-SSA members, families and visitors to browse through the new exhibits and learn about the many interesting features and history of “their organization.”Severalyears
When you visit the History Center you’ll find display areas for each of the 14 N-SSA regions (including the former Metropolitan Region), an exhibit detailing the efforts and success of founders Jack Rawls and Ernie Peterkin, a display of trophies awarded during each Nationals, an Artillery Corner, a Costume Corner, a Medical History display and more areas displaying significant items and events from our 72 years of skirmishing.
And during each Nationals there will be a fresh new rotating display highlighting different facets of the N-SSA: The women’s entry into the N-SSA competitions; the N-SSA fire department; the history of the medical facilities; the special role of the sutlers; the role and relationship with Gainesboro Ruritan; the relationship with the U.S. International Muzzle Loading Team; the N-SSA Band; the history of the Ft. Shenandoah area from before European settlement through the purchase of the land by the N-SSA and many more interesting topics. (Note that the major range-area damages and repairs needed following the 1996 floods was the topic of the display during this year’s Spring Nationals.)
ago, the interior of the building was heavily damaged by water and had to be totally emptied, repaired, repainted, a new floor put down, new display areas created, and the hundreds of display items returned. While a preliminary opening following the repairs and the COVID-caused closing was held last fall, the newly redesigned N-SSA History Center was formally presented at the Spring 2022 Nationals.

Each Nationals it seems the use of C-PAP machines has become an issue, especially with the requested use of generators during the night. I shall now speak from personal experience. The use of generators to run a C-PAP machine is absolutely unnecessary! I use a 12 volt marine battery in my camper next to my bed. To it is attached an inverter which in turn provides the needed voltage to operate the C-PAP machine providing everyone a quiet and restful sleep. The marine battery lasts about three days before needing a charge which can be accomplished by the generator during the daylight hours. The inverter is very efficient and quiet.
The Provost staff, whom I cannot thank enough, now numbers 21 members and numerous members in reserve ready to assist the membership upon request. Incident response times and total Fort coverage is always improving. I only ask the membership to be patient with and respectful of their fellow members who volunteer their personal time for this thankless task.

As I have worked with National Officers, members of the Board and Property Manager Tim Scanlan, I have seen and heard nothing but an overwhelming desire to make all activities at Fort Shenandoah a huge success. Whatever was needed was done, much of which we knew nothing about. We all have those kinds of people working among us.
96 Skirmish Line Fall 2022
I have asked over and over again for each member to watch out for one another, their neighbors and property. These pleas have not fallen on deaf ears. Incidents involving property theft and unwarranted damage have decreased significantly. Thank you everyone!
Stay well! Lets get ready for the fall.
Avoid confusion & aggravation at skirmishes - now you/your team can have ready access to definitive answers on issues covering: procedures, safety, penalties, awards, range operations, authorized arms, uniforms, AND MORE…
The 145th National is in the books. Before I go any further, I want all N-SSA members to know and understand they have every reason to be proud of themselves and of their organization. During this national there were only a few incidents which required the attention of the Provost staff. This speaks volumes for each and every one of us.
THE SKIRMISHER’S HANDY LITTLE PROBLEM SOLVER
Unabridged,plan.in
There are some trends emerging from our ranks. Aside from a few who have an affinity for needing “guidance”, the membershipat-large has demonstrated at this national, and at a number of previous nationals, they care about the safety and enjoyment of all attending National Skirmishes. This trend makes it obvious our members have a healthy dose of self respect and respect for fellow members, families, guests and visitors. We are constantly surrounded by people we do not know and making a good impression, especially on visitors, is paramount for the reputation of the N-SSA.

The interest, however, is waning. The number of golfers for the last several Nationals has only been sixteen to twenty, not enough for the desired shotgun start. Members can form teams of four or come as individuals and have teams made up. Being competitive is not what Doc had in mind, thus the scramble format. Coming together and enjoying that time was his goal. The outing is played every Thursday at Nationals starting around noon. This enables shooters to shoot individuals all day Wednesday. Members, family members and friends can then come together Thursday to unwind and enjoy the beautiful Cacapon Golf Course, no matter the score. The competition is light and friendly but being competitive is by no means a prerequisite. At the end of the day National medals are awarded to three places in two flights. Come win your first National medal without even pulling a trigger.
Skirmish Line Fall 2022 97
There was a man whose legacy lives on within the North-South Skirmish Association and within the minds and hearts of many of its members. That man was Irwin “Doc” Chambers who was a member of the 10th CVI in the New England Region. Doc’s heart strings were attached to his family, his friends, his Unit and the N-SSA. He was a Region leader, the “glue” which made the Region one big family. He wore many hats in the midst of his shooting family. In the early years he was the Paymaster and served as the Medical Officer. A Chiropractor, Doc applied his skills many times to his shooting friends making their shooting experience much more enjoyable. After his passing the 10th broke up and went to other teams. When the Region would come together for dinners, the former 10th members would return to be, once again, part of the Region family. That was Doc at work.
The Spring 2022 Doc Chambers Outing First Flight was won by Team 11th NJ, two under par 70, followed by the 149th PVI, 71 and 42nd NY, 72. Second Flight was won by Chiswells with an 80 followed by 1st Pa Rifles Bucktails, 83 and 2nd VA Vol Inf, 91. Nationals provides invaluable assistance in obtaining medals for the teams. Thank you so much! And thank you to all who participated! A good time for Watchsure!the Bulletin Board, Facebook and the Nationals Program for details. Or you can contact me, Bob Klutas, at stonycrick61@ gmail.com or at 717-514-8325.
Doc was always an advocate of the family, always looking for ways to bring the family together at Nationals. He wanted to have something to bring the members, their families and friends together doing something having nothing to do with shooting. He started a golf outing which was successful right off the bat.

Doc’s Dream
The first outing was held at one of the 1994 Nationals. The exact date could not be determined. Doc got eight four-man teams to meet at Cacapon State Park and Golf Course just south of Berkeley Springs, W.VA., a beautiful and challenging golf venue. The enjoyment of this event caught on instantly and continued, with his support and inspiration through his illness and beyond his passing from our midst.
About two years later, the golfers still enjoying this event, decided to name the event the Doc Chambers Memorial Golf Outing. It has continued for about twenty eight years. Early on there were as many as eleven four member teams. An all female flight was created and encouraged today. The outing has taken place at four different Shenandoah Valley golf courses, and is currently back at Cacapon State Park and Golf Course where he brought us all together so many years ago.

On one side of a ravine were camped some Georgia troops and on the other were Tennessee soldiers. For one night, a huge snowfall blanketed the area, and the soldiers awoke to find slightly warmer temperatures and plenty of snow. This combination proved tantalizing for some younger fellows, and they soon began snowballing each other. Soon individuals’ duels gave way to larger engagements; presently, entire companies were arrayed against each other. Finally, the inevitable happened: a group of Tennesseans and Georgians squared off for battle. And hostilities begin in earnest.
The Army of Tennessee was passing the winter of 1864 – 65 in Dalton, Georgia under the command of Joe Johnston. The temperature had hovered near zero for several days and since it was much too cold to drill or play the usual outdoor games, about all the soldiers could do between meals was gather wood and keep warm. Most of the young and vigorous were fast growing weary of inactivity. For the Army commanders, this was fast becoming a problem.
106 Skirmish Line Fall 2022
News spread like proverbial wildfire throughout. t the camps that an engagement of major proportions was shaping up. Now, it was a matter of state pride, and all the minor skirmishes ceased and recruits poured into both sides until it resolved into a strictly Tennessee – Georgia contest (probably the first time the two undefeated teams had met each other in many seasons). By that time, almost 2,000 men were taking part, and the numbers swelled. Snowballs were flying everywhere; charge after charge was attempted and repulsed. Shouting and cheering pierced the air and the struggle seesawed back and forth for several hours. During the various charges, many prisoners were captured, but in the wild excitement of another charge, they would make their escape and rejoin their comrades in battle.
Realizing that an ample supply of snowballs would play an important part in the struggle, both sides piled large mounds of the wet missiles in advance and located them in strategic areas. As can be imagined, these “supply depots” were often prime objects of Asattack.the encounter grew in intensity, the Tennessee boys requested one of the colonels to come out, mount his favorite war horse, and lead them in the attack. The colonel accepted the invitation, grabbed a flag a soldier had made of an old bandana, and galloped to the front. When the Tennesseans caught sight of him racing out, a tremendous roar went up from their ranks. Across the way, another loud roar arose as the Georgians induced a major to ride out and lead them. Not only were two large forces lined up in battle formation, but hundreds of noncombatants assembled on the surrounding hills to watch. Enlisted men scrambled for good seats, and generals and their staff were either mounted on horseback or looking on from higher ground. Directing his Tennessee troops to load up with as much “ammunition” as possible and instructing his ordnance officers to follow up with fresh supplies of snowballs, the colonel ordered the charge. With a resounding roar from both sides, the fray erupted as hundreds of snowballs filled the air, men stumbled and tripped over one another in attempts to doge the flying missiles. Others were knocked to the ground by direct hits scored by some good marksmen. The hardest hit, however, were the colonel and his horse; leading the men into battle, they were principal targets for the Georgia boys. The force of the Tennessee charge enabled them to simultaneously outflank and break through the center of the Georgia line, resulting in a complete rout. Not content with chasing their opponents off the field, the Tennesseans pursued their Confederate comrades right through the latter’s camp and into the woods beyond. Thus ended an action involving over 5,000 soldiers. The only casualties were some black eyes and a few broken noses. And the first meeting between Tennessee and Georgia concluded in a victory for the Volunteer!

The Great Snowball Battle
This story was originally published in the Lanyard magazine of the Sons of Confederate Veterans but was later reprinted in the 1975 issue of the “Skirmish Line”.
In the previous essay, aligning the body with the target for better stability. This alignment makes the process of aiming easier as the gross adjustments have been completed. In the North-South Skirmish Association there is time before the match begins to make up the breakable targets and get equipment for the match. I use a few minutes of the time to locate, where on the firing line, I will be shooting. Without a firearm in hand, I stand on the line, locate the proper target frame, and settle my feet. As I use a bayonet to hold the ramrod between loading, I place that in the needed location currently. This gets it out of my way while doing other tasks but also serves as a location marker for that selected footing. I will mime the actions of raising and lowering the firearm to aim several times. The goal is to have a general sight picture before leaving the firing line.

Back To AimingBasics
The shooter’s breathing and pulse will affect the shot as well. The calmer and steadier both are the steadier the shooter’s base will be. Many shooters are or have been taught to take a deep breath, let half out and then hold the rest while aiming. Some people can aim and snap shoot quickly while others take longer. There is another option. Keep breathing, slow steady breaths. As the shooter shoulders the firearm, the breaths are steady and even, ensuring a well oxygenated blood supply. The rhythm of the breathing does not change from one motion of the shot to the next. When sighted in a pause may happen as the trigger is squeezed.
with what the shooter must accomplish, it starts with stance. Has the shooter found a stable, repeatable, and comfortable stance? If so, then that is more easily separated from the act of aiming. If not, the shooter can keep progressing on stance while learning the control used to aim the firearm. These are steps in a process and not, therefore, exclusive to each other.
As I started with the shooter in my essay on stance, I am continuing here with the shooter and the physical actions used in aiming a firearm. Breaking this subject into parts, there are two that should be mentioned. What the shooter does and what the firearm does.Beginning
More than just aligning sights to hit a target, aiming is reaching that goal with easy consistency. When everything in the sport is reduced to basic equipment, it comes down to you, the firearm, and the target. Can you use the tool at hand to achieve your goal of a hit target, paper, breakable or hunted prey?
Competing teams are called to the line one minute before the event will start. With firearm in hand, I repeat the previous steps once more ensuring that my footing is secure and aligned. At this time, I will raise and lower the firearm repeatedly, both with eyes open and then with eyes closed. If my placement is correct, the sights will line up with the targets even before opening my eyes. If they do not, it is necessary to realign my footing. Once satisfied with this, I can concentrate on the actions needed to aim properly.
The forehand supporting the length of the firearm is just that a support. Do not use it for aiming purposes other than gross height and windage. Consider it much like a fence post to rest the firearm upon. All fine aiming adjustments are done with the shoulder and trigger hand. These are very fine movements to close in on the target picture that the shooter needs. Time and practice, whether shooting or dry firing or just holding the firearm at home will build the strength and sensitivity to achieve a good sight picture.Once the aiming, the good sight picture is achieved, squeezing the trigger is simple. Or not. Again, in the N-SSA there are safety rules that call for any long arm’s trigger pull to be at least three pounds. Those shooters using set triggers and other styles of firearms have different rules. Be that as it may, the requirement is the same, to pull or squeeze the trigger without the aim being affected. Time and practice are again the key. It is possible to learn how the trigger feels as the shooter squeezes the trigger. A practiced shooter will be able to say if the shot was good or not and if not, where it should have gone and why.
The choice of “V” or peep is personal. What can help the shooter find the target easily and accurately. My musket has a peep sight, while my carbine has a “V” and of course the original 1842 Springfield smoothbore has no rear sight at all. I just must use each in its proper fashion.
The sight picture is where the front and rear sights align with the target. Most shooters refer to a clock face when describing their point of aim. A six o’clock hold means that the top of the front sight just touches the bottom of the target at what would be six on an analog clock. Nine o’clock, twelve o’clock and so forth are like locations to the clock. Center holds or point of aim, point of impact is the middle of the clock face. I like to see the whole target and mostly adjust my sights and sight picture for a six o’clock hold.
Getting excited, whether due to a great shot or a terrible one can have equally detrimental effect on the next shot. Keep calm and let the next shot be its own process. The shooter, the equipment, and the target. Can I hit it once? Yes. Now that I have done that, can I hit it again? Can I get five in the scoring target? Then five in the black? Then five in the ten rings? I have not done the last. Yet.

Bench resting the firearm is one way of sighting it in. Other shooters find it easier just to shoot as they would at any other time. This may prove to be more difficult for the new shooter. We are in the territory of range time and going with what works best, with this process for each shooter. Find what is comfortable and gives consistent, repeatable results. Stay safe and have fun.
Hold through the shot, these are long firearms with slow bullets. Lowering the firearm or other changes too quickly may affect the shot. I have read that the best shots in the world can shoot between heart beats. That may be apocryphal or not.
Practice will only help if the shooter is practicing the right habits and methods. Practicing poor, sloppy actions leads to poor and sloppy shooting results. Luck may happen but good form and steady methods are much better ways to return the desired results.
That is the physical part of aiming. The mechanical is proper alignment of the sights on the firearm and the shooter’s eye with the sights. With muzzleloading, most shooters do not have telescopic sights on their firearms, so this will discuss only the more traditional iron sights. Whether open “V” or a peep sight, the rear sight must line up with the front to place the shot in its intended target. All the following are simply observations on method not instructions what is the one and only right way to have the firearm set up. Trial and error at the range will show the shooter what works best for them. This is the fun part of working in a firearm. Learning its idiosyncrasies and the shooter’s own as well.
Jim Van Eldik, Iredell Blues
At the time of the Northfield bank raid, Thursday, September 7th, 1876, I was a student in medicine and home in Northfield for my holidays. I was sitting on the sidewalk, in front of father’s drugstore, nearly opposite the bank about half past one or two in the afternoon, when I saw three men ride up, tie up their horses, and go into the bank. I thought they were cattlemen. (Then) two more men came riding up the street, and stopped in front of the bank. One of them dismounted, looked in thru the bank door, and then remained outside.
I was beginning to get suspicious, rose from my chair, and moved up the street until I was directly opposite the bank. J.S. Allen approached the bank and attempted to enter, but received a blow from a horseman that sent him spinning down the street. I shouted, ‘Robbery! They are robbing the bank,’ with the result that the man in front of the bank turned immediately and fired at me, but the shot went over my head.
(Hardware merchant J.S. Allen reportedly cried, ‘Get your guns boys; they’re robbing the bank.’)
To be fair the gang’s modus operandum was well known everywhere in the central United States by this time, but Minnesota had thus far escaped the gang’s attention. So when Jesse James, Bob Younger, and Charlie Pitts started hanging around the front entrance to the First National Bank, they immediately drew attention. We’ll let Henry Wheeler, a young medical student on vacation from the University of Michigan medical school at the time take it from here.
I ran into the drug store, thinking to get my gun, which I generally kept there, but I had lent it to someone who returned it to the house. I made for the Dampier hotel, where I knew there was a gun, asked the clerk for ammunition, and he got me four cartridges from the storeroom.
‘Get back or I’ll kill you,’ he shouted.
The Northfield raid might easily be called the last armed skirmish of the Civil War. The techniques the James gang used were the product of the vicious partisan warfare that defined the Civil War in Missouri. It was there that the Missouri “Bushwhackers” learned their lightning-fast raiding technique combined with the overwhelming firepower their six shooters provided. The Battle of Centralia, Missouri, in September, 1864, provides a perfect illustration of their methods. Under the leadership of “Bloody Bill” Anderson, a force of approximately 225 Confederate Bushwhackers, including Frank and a young seventeen year old Jesse James, waylaid a Union passenger train. On board were twenty-fire unarmed Yankee soldiers whom the Bushwhackers immediately murdered and scalped. Soon after a Union cavalry force of approximately 200 men appeared. The blue troopers dismounted and prepared to engage the Confederates with their Enfield muskets. After in initial volley which did bring down some Confederates, the Union men were frantically trying to reload their muzzleloading muskets while the Bushwhackers were putting spurs to horse. The Rebels quickly overran, and annihilated, the Union force with their six shooters.
Smith Carbine: “The Crown Jewel”
The James boys continued using these same nefarious methods well after the war officially ended. Periodically the boys would issue “a raise” assembling a collection of old partisans whenever some ready cash was needed. Over time these eclectic groups took down something like a dozen banks, seven trains, and five stage coaches, plus the Kansas State Fair ticket booth. While this particular action, eight armed men taking down a little hick town bank, would not seem all that significant, and would hardly qualify as a battle, the gang’s utter defeat by an assortment of three hard headed Minnesota civilians, one with a single shot hunting rifle, one with bird shot firing shotgun, and one armed with an obsolete Civil War carbine, was profound.

It goes without saying that the first thought that enters one’s mind when contemplating a Smith Carbine is normally something far afield from anything so luxurious as a “crown jewel.” If anything were to define “pedestrian,’ particularly as war as Civil War arms are concerned, the plain jane Smith would always be a prime contender. So where and how did this particular old Civil War veteran gain such an appellation? Well, the where is the normally pleasant little Minnesota town called Northfield, and the when was in September, 1876.
In the meantime, A.R. Manning had come up to the corner on the other side of the street, shot one of the horses [Manning employing a powerful Remington hunting rifle], behind which some of the bandits were sheltering themselves, and had also shot one of the men (Bill Chadwell). Bob Younger had come out of the bank and was having a revolver duel with Manning. I took a shot at Bob breaking his right elbow. My fourth cartridge had [fallen] from the bed to the floor, breaking the tissue paper forming the cartridge, and the powder had escaped, so my ammunition was exhausted. I watched two bandits come out of the bank, mount their horses, and ride away with the others. At the time, the clerk came to me with more cartridges for me, but it was too late.
When the excitement had died down, it was found that the robbers had made away with about $290 (that early estimate turned out to be 26.70), which they took from the till on the counter, but (acting First National Bank cashier Joseph Lee) Heywood had refused to open the safe declaring there was a time lock on it, which he could not open. They shot him through the head killing him instantly, but were afraid to go into the vault.
I ran upstairs to a bedroom on the third floor (actual second floor) facing the bank. As I approached the window, three more men on horseback came riding up across the bridge square, shooting. I shot at one of them (Jim Younger), but missed him. I reloaded. The man who had fired at me before got into the saddle and was bending down adjusting the left stirrup. I got a rest for the gun in a corner of the window, aimed low and shot him (Clell Miller) through the chest.

Naturally the entire southwest Minnesota rose up in pursuit of the gang continuing its decimation. Amazingly, despite being shot to pieces, all three Younger brothers survived. Somehow by riding west, and then south Frank and Jesse were able to avoid the pursuit. Eventually they would stop off at the Bellesfield Halfway House a few miles from my old homesite in northwest Iowa, to purchase a loaf of bread. With numerous ex-Missourians living there, Iowa provided much better prospects for hiding out than Dakota Territory. So getting back to that Smith carbine, how exactly did that particular Smith end up in the Dampier hotel? During the early 1860s, while most of the country was heavily involved with committing national suicide, the Sioux of Minnesota decided to host their own rebellion and set out to eliminate all the white settlers within reach. This “Sioux Uprising of 1862” kept sputtering on, and by 1863 had mostly moved up along the Minnesota-Canada border. Thus, in 1863 the four companies of Hatch’s Independent Battalion had been formed to calm things down. One of its recruits was Edward Dampier, later of Northfield hotel fame. It was Edward that toted the Smith carbine home in 1866. The Smith stayed with the Dampier family until 1923 when the family loaned it to Wheeler for display in his medical office in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Wheeler wrote the above account of the fight in 1926. Eventually it was sold off by the Wheeler family and changed hands several times before eventually ending up in the hands of collector Norman Oberto of Northfield. Oberto loaned it, along with Wheeler’s gold watch and revolver, to the historical society in 2015 for permanent display eliciting the “crown jewel” comment from Northfield Historical Society Director, Hayes Scriven. Jesse James Days at Northfield is a must visit. Nothing has changed from 1876.
