Another sad occasion for this week's Throwback Thursday - I discovered this year while attending the annual Civil War Symposium in Jefferson, Texas, that another old reenacting friend had "passed over the river", in this case fellow Texan David Waters above, seen while a "casualty" on the field of Stones River in March, 1993. David was a notable gun and militaria collector and on the ground between us are his and my original Springfield or Harper's Ferry M.1816 conversion muskets.
