<< Thanks for that correction, Jim.  I recall the info. on McLaws now;
Kershaw had predominantly smoothbore muskets if I remember correctly.

Kershaw's brigade had a substantial number of smoothbore muskets, but the 
majority of its weapons were rifle muskets, a mix of Springfields and 
Enfields.  Woffords' brigade also had a considerable percentage of 
smoothbores.

but for freedom - and for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with 
life itself."
