Militia notices
« on: March 02, 2012, 11:51:23 PM »
This is an interesting site showing early militia notices, some with outfitting requirements.

On some of the other tabs there are lots of other interesting documents, trade cards, etc.

One even uncovers the old mystery of who the "Gold Dust Twins' were.  I recall when I was a kid that the old folks used to refer to a pair of close friends as the Gold Dust Twins.

If religion is opium for the masses, the internet is a crack, pixel-huffing orgy that deafens the brain, numbs the senses and scrambles our peer list to include every anonymous loser, twisted deviant, and freak as well as people we normally wouldn't give the time of day.
