In the May 10 Detroit Free Press this story was printed about Confederate revolvers. I am not sure how many pistols could be hidden in a three foot square box.
Sorry, May 10 1861What year?
This is interesting! I wonder if there was any connection with Forrest's shopping spree in Louisville, KY, which happened at exactly the same time. He purchased 500 Colt revolvers along with a pile of saddles and horse accoutrements - but the pistols seemed to give him away and he was put under surveillance. Nevertheless, he and two friends stuffed their dusters full of guns and took them to a barn, where they were loaded into potato sacks and put on a wagon. Don't know how many Colt pistols one can stuff into a duster or how many trips the three took!
