In 1898, the cruiser USS Charleston captured Guam. The island's garrison was unaware that there was a state of war between the US and Spain, so they mistook salvos from the Charleston as a salute from a visiting ship. When Spanish officials took a boat out to welcome the Charleston, they were shocked to learn that they had become PoWs http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656076084.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656076084.jpg Natural Rhododendron tunnels in Reenagross Park, Kenmare, Ireland http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656076084.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656076084.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656076207.jpg |

And then reloaded again. They found huge amounts of rifles after the battle loaded and many loaded twice or more people don't necessarily want to kill in battle, but peer pressure and all that Now obviously if such a rifle falls to the ground and then somebody who DOES use it runs into a double load.. https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/almost-every-rifle-recovered-at-gettysburg-was-fully-loaded-and-no-one-knows-why/ There are similar reports of WW1 where soldiers fired their rifle but they didn't aim to hit. Things changed a great deal by WW2 https://www.wearethemighty.com/uploa...514/origin.jpg |
At Gettysburg museum they have a stunning, just mind blowing mural, called the Cyclorama. It is simply huge, and wonderfully well lit, and displayed.
https://www.nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/cyclorama.htm It is mind blowing large, and painted in the 1800s. It is just wonderful that it survived, and now is in the hands of the museum. Well worth the trip just to see it. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656162788.jpg This is my 911 with Little Round Top in the background.

In 1866 the Russian government offered to sell the territory of Alaska to the United States. Secretary of State William H. Seward, enthusiastic about the prospects of American Expansion, negotiated the deal for the Americans. Edouard de Stoeckl, Russian minister to the United States, negotiated for the Russians. On March 30, 1867, the two parties agreed that the United States would pay Russia $7.2 million for the territory of Alaska. The check for $7.2 million was made payable to the Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl, who negotiated the deal for the Russians. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656170371.jpg Niagara Falls with the water turned off. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1656170371.jpg Former Mayor of Los Angeles, California in the back seat of a 4 cylinder Erie and Sturgis operated by J.
