a "little" goodie from the Lapeer,Mi show.
« on: March 04, 2013, 09:57:41 PM »
I found these at the show,and I'm VERY happy with these. Bought a few other gem's,but these were the best!

look's like a pile of leather wad's.

This is what's inside!

There are a lot of folk's outside Michigan Who dont know who Cotton is,but those of us here in Mich do! He was one of those guy's you INSTANTLYY felt a connection with,on a deep muzzleloading level. And to see him late in his life was kinda heartbreaking. He is sorely missed. May God hold and keep him!

And every year I look more like the guy in my avatar. The picture was taken some time prior to 1867 so I don't know what process was used I'd love to find the original

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Sorry I digress.  It's good to have something to remember your friend by.

We have a few legends around here too.  I've been looking for a Lloyd Norris
muzzleloader for a couple years.  They NEVER go for sale.

most likely this'll be a dumb question.
  But what is in the picture? I can't really see it,kinda fuzzy
