I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

Aww, sweet! An old pepper box! I'll bet someone was pissed about losing that thing a long time ago, probably had to save for over a year to buy it.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillement of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle... Victorious.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

That's awesome! Hang it on the wall, or stick it on the shelf. I'd ask who the maker was, but I think that would be a little out of the question.  Any ideas about what caliber it was?

That sounds about right. I think they also had a .36 back then too.
I feel bad for the guy who ended up on the business end of that. Screw the double tap, quadruple tap is the way to go.

Guess the obvious question is how the hell did it get out there, was it in someone's pocket when it was "lost." Better not dig too deep, never know what else may be under the ground...

It was a rotary hoe so it doesnt dig very deep. My guess a previous land owner or farm hand lost it as it may have fallen out of a pocket while on a tractor or walking the field
