One of my GG Grandfathers carried a S & W break top 32, in a shoulder rig... I passed it and the shoulder rig on to my son not to long ago...I don't think that he even knew that I had it, until then... |

One of my great uncles was in the 7th US Cavalry during the WWi period. I remember him well. He had great stories and answered a lot of questions a kid who weaned on John Ford cavalry westerns, asked.he was not a big guy. Him and my uncle Paul who was a Navajo from Utah used to be a hoot. Them old timers are like time machines ...listen up when they talk.
Uncle Paul tried to re enlist in the cavalry in 1942. The army told him...." we dont have horse cavalry anymore."
