Skirmish with Indians

    Lovely recreation. Presages the desire for "western" movies at a date when the closing of the frontier was keenly felt by those who helped settle the west. Might this be a "cabinet card" and therefor part of a set?

Coast defence guns that protect our Atlantic littoral. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • aware health said:
    Dictionary.com and my Webster's both list "defence" as "chiefly British" usage. I wonder where in the last century that changed, and why? Or was the Tribune putting on airs?

    Worth comparing with this photograph: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2477622073/in/s... Are they the same gun?

    Very interesting. Thanks rockcreek. A search on the LOC's website amongst the Bain collection for the keywords "Sandy Hook, gun, artillery" brings up quite a few examples of photographs taken there of various shore guns (along with many other examples of firearms) which have not yet made it to the flickr set.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Vintage New Jersey, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
