This is my absolute favorite realm of U.S. history: Civil War artifacts that can be traced to specific soldiers. Incredibly interesting, I'd love to see a lot more of this. I could literally watch this for hours on end and never be bored.

Great! Did you see our episode about Frederick Schultz? Same thing. We agree with you and look to do more of this. It’s a great way to find connection to common Americans. Will

@Tomatohater64 4 года назад

I did not see the episode on Frederick Schultz but I will look for it. Definitely do more of these videos.

Wow! Just wonderful history and the stories behind all of this makes it even more interesting. I wish I had enjoyed history at a much younger age. This was a great episode of Civl War Digital Digest.

Wow Will, i always am impressed at the collection that Matt Woodburn has and the passion he has for researching each of the items. For his sake I would hope he has everything catalogued, such an amazing group of memorabilia and I am sure Matt spends some days and nights just walking around this amazing historical collection and must be proud of himself for preserving this and sharing this with us. I would like to see more vlogs of Matt's collection and would like to thank CWDD for bringing this to Civil War enthusiasts who live on the opposite side of the world such as myself. Look forward to more as I learn from you. Cheers.

You don’t keep cranking if I recall you have to cock the spencer and tip it back every time it doesn’t have positive ejection

@ufc990 2 года назад

Correct, you put the hammer in half cock, pull the lever down, tip the rifle back to eject the spent cartridge, close the lever, then fully cock the hammer and it's ready to fire.

@jeffreygraf3358 Год назад

Great collection, but a small point. I do not believe the 14th Corps was at Franklin. They went with Sherman on the march to the sea. The 4th and 23rd Corps were at Franklin.

@guynemer53 4 года назад

Did he mention how he was able to identity the owners of the Confederate forage caps? Was the owner's name signed inside it? Did he get the pieces from a family member or buy it from some seller who knew where it came from?

@miketaylor5212 3 года назад

the reason cavalry carried carbines was simple they were easier to handle on a horse it had nothing to do with shooting them. there were also mounted infantry that had to make do with regular rifles.

@ufc990 2 года назад

He also confuses the operation of the Spencer carbine with the henry lever action of the same period. To reload and fire one needed to put the hammer in half cock, drop the lever, tip the weapon back to let the empty cartridge fall out, close the lever then fully cock the hammer and only then was it ready to fire. Quicker and easier than reloading muzzle loading firearm but not quite as easy as the henry lever rifle of the same period.
