Sharps_Coffee_Grinder

This Sharps carbine has a built-in grain mill. Photograph from the Civil War Family. Visit this site for some good ol’ fashion Lost Causery! Here’s an actual quote: “You have NO reason to be ashamed of your Confederate ancestors. They fought because the South was INVADED. Period.” Sigh. Where to start? Well, thanks for the picture, at least. Maybe this here Yankee-made carbine helped liberate some of the human beings ya’ll thought were your rightful property.
