[@MeRawhide]

Thousands Thanks from Finland to both of you! You really made my day. For someone not able to visit Wyoming very often this was a gem.

Hello new sub. Stumbled across your channel, love US history and really enjoyed this video. Thank you!

Thank you Steve , I grew up just one county south of Emporia and that is what started my love of the Kansas Calvary. I still live in south east Kansas so again thank you.

This Casper archaeologist is astounded by the work you've done! My brother's driveway basically overlooks Camp Dodge!

My great great great grandfather was in the 11th KS! He was company blacksmith for company B.

The 11th ACR sends its complements to the 11th Kansas! "IF YOU AIN'T CAV...!" 😎

It was stated that the rifles displayed were from the War of 1812, however the rifles were cap and ball so they could not be from the War of 1812.

Looks like someone tried to burn the sign out front...

It's so funny from an European perspective, Americans complaining about guns who were just outdated at the time but were considered normal for most of their armies only some decades before. Actually Europe scrapped their arsenals of any crap they had. As for my own research the Royal Saxon army got rid of their Thouvenin rifles from Belgium, which they gave to the US in 1862 - noone ever was happy with these rifles.😂

[@JohnAllen-gg1oz]

I think if you were able to ask the men who they were fighting, they would say 'indians'.
