Modern lareaUom UTe robbed war-fare of mvcb of Ita romance and thesoldier of ef bla old time plcturqWBCM Although tko powderboroA as implement of war disappearedlong before the BMzaxloe gun of todaywas dreamed of It wasnt so very tongago aa a hatter of fact tbat menwere carrying powdcrborna Some ofthe soldiers la the Mexican war forj example used them

Tile powderborna carried by thefighters la tbe early days of this coun-try were often of comparatively sim-ple workmanship but they were cherirked and handed down from fatherto son and from friend to friendStrange to say though cherished Inthis manner collectors bare bad

hard time In locating any greatnumber of the powdcrborns used Inthis country nnd this In spite of thelarge numbers used In tbe seventeenthand eighteenth centuries

In the French and Indian war theEnglish and Americans carried 10000powderborns It has been estimatedto say nothing of the number carriedby those on the French side In theRevolution there were according totbe best estimates about 10000 powderboras In use In tho Americanarmy without counting those on theBritish side The European troops hndlong discarded them of course buttheir colonial allies naturally wereequipped with them

A few years ago Inane J Greenwoodpresented to the yew York Ulstorlcalsociety a collection of water color pictares of powderborns ho had found

InJVlthouxh the Roan h was prosecuted

wltbgreat diligence the number powdcrborns actually located and sketchedwas not much more than 400 showinghow quickly the horns have beenappenring

Powderborns are supposed to havecome Into UM almost simultaneouslywith the Invention of gunMiwoVr A-

way bad to bo found to curry theder and keep It dry and men quicklyfound that there wasnt anything better or cheaper In mediaeval times forthis purpose than the horns of an nnlmat

They were In general uw In the six-teenth century and were brought tothis country by the first settlers Theoldest hunt whoso picture np cnra Intbe collection was found near Schenec-tady N Y anti bears the date of 1GS3
