This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

George Washington's Pistols
They have a picture of a pistol, with these words:
"A horseman's pistol given to George Washington by the Marquis de Lafayette.
"The pistol was one of a pair of heavy horseman's pistols which general Lafayette used during the the Revolutionary War."
No mention as to what happened to the other pistols. Perhaps the library never received the second one.
