All,
This December 16th and 17th I will be presenting the history for a 58 7th graders and have received permission from the prinicpal and teacher to bring in a musket with bayonet. My problem lies in the fact that I am without both a musket and a bayonet for said musket. In speaking to the teacher she states that the children are "clueless" about what arms of that day, and what a bayonet is. If I could provided for these kids a visual of the musket and espeically the bayonet that our forefathers faced I think it would go a long way in driving home the point of their sacrafice for us. So I come to my fellow buckeyes asking a favor. Does anyone in the Cincinnati area have or know of someone who has a Brown Bess that they would be willing to lend me for the date of the 16th of December? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
