<< 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."
