A bit more than raining in the wet ...
Hoping not to be boring but, this is the first time i read of Mexican gunpowder grade being put in concrete terms, rather than just bad, poor or mediocre.
I have extracted a couple of (hopefuly) interesting paragraphs from the work "Finding A Face: El Soldado Mexicano 1835-1848" by Kevin R. Young, Historian (San Antonio, Texas). I hope the PDF i have created is amenable. . Last edited by fernando; 26th August 2019 at 07:21 PM. |
