You’ve probably seen the “arrest for laughing” case that has gone repeatedly viral over the past few years. I’m actually the attorney on that case. Just yesterday the Court ruled on the officer’s motion to dismiss and request for qualified immunity. Image
The officer claimed that flashing headlights to warn oncoming motorists was not protected free speech, and that he was justified in handcuffing, frisking and detaining the driver after he laughed at him. What did the Court rule?

It rained hard all day yesterday and now there’s terrible flooding in the southwest region of WV. Much of this area was sort of a “no man’s land” to the early Virginians. The only flat or traversable land is along the turbulent rivers and creeks… 🧵 Image
In 1756, an allied force of 340 men from the Virginia Regiment, including a contingent of Cherokees (also included my 5th great grandfather) began an expedition to the Shawnee country (Ohio) after a period of massacres and attacks on the Virginia frontier. Image
This includes the famous Draper Massacre the year prior, which occurred on the present day Virginia Tech campus, leading to the famous story of Mary Draper Ingles escaping and walking home, following the rivers. Image

My recent finds (ok, “acquisitions”) have one thing in common: a connection to the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant. I’m fairly sure I should now have the largest collection of Battle of PP artifacts ever assembled. Such as this powder horn… 🧵 Image
Which belonged to Christopher Welch. It’s of large size, commonly seen on frontier-used Rev War and earlier period powder horns. Obviously you wanted to bring sufficient powder (ammo) when entering hostile territory for an extended period. Image
Notice the carved extension of the horn with drilled holes beyond the wood end plug where one would attach a shoulder strap. That’s a rare feature and an early design. Image

Here’s another original spike tomahawk, which I have a modern blacksmith made bench copy. The amazing thing about this original one is that it still has an extremely rare original haft. 🧵 Image
Original 18th century spike tomahawk found in Central Pennsylvania along the Susquehanna River by the late Keith Collins, who was a friend of mine who found some amazing things over the years. Image
The tomahawk is forged from iron, most certainly for the Native American trade. It retains an extremely rare original haft. Next to it is a contemporary bench copy by blacksmith Jeff Cline… Image

Happy Veteran's Day. This gun came out of Rhode Island and was owned by a Civil War general who, though he was not a great general, still to this day has had an interesting and lasting impact on popular American culture.🧵 Image
He was also a gun designer, though he didn't make this particular gun, since he wasn't born yet. This is an original 18th century New England flintlock fowler (smoothbore) stocked in cherry. Image

Image
Image
It's a little less than .60 caliber with a smoothbore (non rifled) barrel. Many New England patriots used fowlers just like this one in the Revolutionary War. Image
