Over the past few years, I've found a bunch of those around Wickenburg, Constellation and Vulture, etc., but didn't know they were that old...Any sources on the WWW that I can find out more about them? ... Cheers, UNc

Rick a lot of Civil War vets came west after the war and brought their guns with them, I've even seen a guy find a CSA uniform button.

Ron, this might be a good resource:
