This week:
Saturday, February 28 – Finding R.H. Weakley
Ranger Susan Ashman, Springfield Armory National Historic Site
During and after the Civil War, thousands of firearms were sent back to Springfield Armory. Some of these with soldier’s names, battles fought, artwork, and sweethearts – all carved in the stock. Similar to books on a library shelf, historic firearms have a story to tell. Most remain silent, but some are waiting for their story to be told, anonymous no longer. From a family farm in Tennessee to the Battle of Franklin, Finding R.H. Weakley is one of those stories. Sadly, not all have a happy ending.
