Fort Mill VFW Post 9138 – Weapons of the Revolutionary War – Presentation
1442 Harris Road, Fort Mill, SC
Daniel Woodruff, President of the SC Society of Sons of the American Revolution (SAR), and Bob Krause, SCSSAR Color Guard Commander, will speak on “Weapons of the Revolutionary War.” They will also provide a live demonstration of the long rifles used to defeat the British Army during the Revolutionary War. A London newspaper of the time described the backwoodsmen who used this type of weapon as “shirt-tail men, with their cursed twisted (rifled) guns, the most fatal widow-and-orphan-makers in the world.”
Both the Col. William Bratton Chapter and the SC State genealogist will be on hand for those that would like to trace their Revolutionary War family history and consider joining the Sons of the American Revolution.
This meeting is open to the public. FREE
SAT, APR 11 – 10:00 AM
