PATINA Meeting Announcement
Our speaker for the September 10 Meeting will be Erik Goldstein, who will be speaking on Colonial Era weaponry.
Weaponry of the Colonial Era. Though the American colonial period ended in the early 1780s, the arms used during the last century of that era directly affected how the United States secured its independence, and then maintained it. The small arms, largely used by the common soldier of the French & Indian and Revolutionary Wars, including muskets, rifles and pistols, with be examined as the primary weapons of the era. As effective as these guns were though, it really was the socket bayonet, discussed today in some detail, that made close-quarter fighting all-important in the tactics of the day. True, swords were then on their way out as combat arms for most soldiers, but many different sword types were carried by a fascinating array of specialist soldiers serving in here, including the dreaded “Light Dragoon” of the Revolution. All of these fascinating areas will be contextualized within the historical, documentary and archaeological record, making for an engaging presentation geared towards those interested in the “real stuff” of early America.
The tailgate tool swap will begin around 8:30 until 11:30, followed by a mini-auction. The program will begin around 12:30. All Times vary.
