Description
Known as ‘that dang Yankee gun that you load on Sunday and can fire all week’, the Henry repeating rifle represented the tip of the spear of small arms technology. While it wasn’t standard issue, it still made a huge difference whenever it was showcased. Join us for these special infantry demonstrations as we highlight the advantage of a repeating rifle as well its use during the Atlanta Campaign and the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.
