"Army Ohio: Weapons for Ohio Soldiers" presented by weapons expert Phil Spaugy

For our March meeting, we’re hosting Phil Spaugy. Phil is a Civil War firearms expert and author who focuses on the arms of his home state of Ohio. As a member of the North South Skirmish Association, he has live fired almost every type of American Civil War firearm. Phil will discuss the infantry arms of the 1861 volunteers and the influence of weapons altered by Miles Greenwood of Cincinnati on arming Ohio's first volunteers.

This presentation will display infantry arms issued to Ohio's 1861 infantry regiments, focusing on the arms Miles Greenwood of Cincinnati altered in 1861.
