Greetings! I am trying to ascertain what weapons the 10th Missouri Infantry (Federal) and 49th Missouri Infantry (Federal) would have carried during the war. I am familiar with Ken Baumann's "Arming the Suckers" which details the weapons of the Illinois regiments based on their Ordnance Reports. Specific questions:
1. I've searched the Frost Regimental History of the 10th MO and found no reference to the type of weapons issued. Nothing in the correspondence of their Lt. Col Leonidas Horney. Any idea where I should go next?
2. Does anyone know how to contact Ken Baumann? There is a young write in Albuquerque with the same name, but he writes mystery novels.
3. Does anyone have any pictures of the soldiers of either regiment that would give a clue?
4. I've got this photo of two men from the 49th Missouri, but I don't know what to look for to identify the muskets they are carrying.
Thanks for any help or advice!
