A bunch of tough gals...And purddy too.

[oldhickory]

Ahhh!...Women and Springfields!

[deltaenterprizes]

More details needed. Rebels?

[Jim]

an' ain't none of 'em smilin', either!

[3006guns]

Looks like Yanqui uniforms to me........and that girl standing next to the sergeant (?) looks like she's all of twelve.

Just a group of gentle, delicate damsels......practicing their second amendment rights. You can almost hear the rustle of taffeta.

Scares me, and I'm not afraid of nothin'!!

Edit: That's no sergeant........just noticed the shoulder boards.

[Molly]

Lord, H' Mercy! If those gals were in Moslem Heaven, there'll be a lot of suiciders clawing their way back!

But I was born too late! I'd come courting on each and every one of them, if I had to turn Morman! Any idea at all of the source of that photo? I'd love to find more like it. I'm going to frame that one and put it on the wall of my den!

[Rooster]

I see ankles in the front row! I'll be in my bunk.....

here is a link to some additonal info on the civil war era.

I think that picture is on the cover of the book by Dick Hall. Look down the page you will see it.

Thanks for the great reference, but it looks like many of the links are borken, and the Dick Hall website is apparently up for sale.

Great picrure though! thanks again.

Sorry Molly,

it was an old website I had book marked after I read one of the books and did some searching for other stuff.

[Thumbcocker]

Frontloaders or trapdoors?

Hey, I appreciate the try. Ya got good taste in books.

If you look closely, the rifles appear to be late model 1873 Springfields, there are breech blocks, hinges, and late model 1873 rear sights visable...If you can get past drooling over those well turned ankles!

[Mumblypeg]

The thing I noticed most was that they all have nice figgres not pudgy and chunky like young girls today...

They are a good looki'n bunch-Aren't they? Makes me want to go out and get another .45-70 Springfield! Well, at least I have a bunch of .45-70's to load, with Holy Black of course!

[gray wolf]

Kinda makes you wanna re-up Eh.


Sam

[Gar]

RE-UP!

Nope, I did my 30, but if those ladies were in my unit I wouldn't have been complaining as much.

[swheeler]

I have to say those are some fine looking ladies, low maintanence, and bet they can use those trapdoors too. My kind of woman for sure!
