| The Vicksburg, Mississippi, National Military Park is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area. It is Very Nicely Preserved with tons of monuments & artillery pieces, and of course the raised U.S. Gunboat, The Cairo. You can read lots of accounts of the 45-day siege but those accounts become so much more real when you walk the grounds. A fine museum is on the park, and with the Driving tour well illustrated and explanations of the positions of various units, those first-hand accounts you read make so much more sense. Give Vicksburg National Military Park a Visit ! |

Here is A Neat Civil War Period Brass Bullet Mold for .31 Caliber Revolver ! It has a wonderful non-dug patina but still operates as is should and I have no doubt you could still cast bullets with it. It is very well made with beveled edges and a good finish, but is completely unmarked. Give it a look. Link at left goes to Firearms Accessories.
