<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The war of 1812 was ignited over our right to
free trade and unrestricted shipping. To demand these rights, our fledgling
maritime force had to square off with the king’s own Royal Navy. Britannia
prided her ability to rule the seas, and her fighting ships and the sailors
that manned them were some of the best disciplined and equipped in the world at
that time. That didn't stop us from taking them on head to head, both on the Great
Lakes and on the open oceans. Determined to fight with whatever means they had
available, our brave fighting men were often forced to arm themselves as best
as they could with their own private weapons instead of relying on the
government to provide them with regulation issue, and this midshipman's dirk
was just such a private weapon, and it would have found service in the hands of
just such a man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Glen told us that, “This dirk is a copy of an original Napoleonic/War of 1812-period English/American midshipman’s dirk. It is not a bench copy, since I only had good photos and measurements to go by.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #29303b;"><div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

steel and crafted the guard from brass. He turned the handle from black walnut
and capped the pommel in brass sheeting. According to Glen, the sheath was the
hardest part of this project. Like the pommel cap, it was fashioned from sheet
brass, as well as round and half-round brass wire. All of the scabbard’s seams
were silver soldered. As a finishing touch, Glen closely copied the decorative
period engraving style found on the original.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in 1969, and built his first engraved powder horn then. He made a full-time
living for several years as a horner/shrimshander, and as a silver and gold
smith. Glen says that he also owes much to artisans like Ray Miller, Jerry
Riness and many others that have helped him through the years. Besides making
knives, Glen and his wife operate a guest ranch called the “Mockville Land and
Cattle Co.” in Missouri, where they raise horses and cattle, and rent cabins to
“city folks who want a taste of</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #29303b;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">country life.”</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Tim found photos and specifications for a
powder horn with provenance to the War of 1812. The powder horn was the
property of Joseph Stewart, a veteran of that war. Tim sent this information to
Mark Ewing, a member of the Honourable Company of Horners and the CLA. Mark
produced a fine documentary copy of the Stewart horn and forwarded the horn on
to Bill Carter who reproduced the scrimshawed inscription original to the old
horn. Bill is also a CLA and HCH craftsman. Their combined work created an
exacting copy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the War of 1812. My search being totally unsuccessful, I simply created a pattern
for a double D shaped pouch typical of the first quarter of the 19th Century. I
acquired a small deer skin and applied a darkened patina using various leather
dyes. </span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">While this was in progress, Eric Van Alstine
made a nice knife from an old file, carved a curly maple handle and fitted it
with a cast pewter ferrule. Eric antiqued the finished knife with great results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">I obtained a reproduction old-time adjustable
brass powder measure from Jim Chambers, an iron vent pick from Ed Wilde and a
couple of antique iron buckles from Jerry Noble. A patina was applied to the
measure. The bag was lined with a reproduction striped linen from Burnley and
Trowbridge. The shoulder straps are leather. I made the pick and brush set
using Wilde's pick, a brush handle from a modified cartridge case and bristles
from an old shoe brush.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

together so well. Eric, Mark, Bill and I all worked on the project without a
clear idea of what the other three were turning out. In the end the powder horn
and knife were sent to me. All of the parts of the whole kit fit beautifully,
and the proportions ended up being very pleasing to the eye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 19.0pt;">During
the War of 1812, the extraordinary acts of heroism and bravery of many American
patriots became legendary and their names were entered into the pages of
history. For many, even after the war, these deeds served to advance their
careers in ways they probably never dreamed of. The feats of General Andrew
Jackson, especially at the Battle of New Orleans, successfully propelled his
political career to the very heights of presidency the United States itself.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 19.0pt;">His
was a house hold name, and his likeness was instantly recognizable by Americans
everywhere. The Contemporary Longrifle Association is fortunate indeed that a
craftsman as talented as Harris Maupin of Hillsboro Missouri carved that
likeness onto a special “Old Hickory, Hero of New Orleans” salt horn and
presented it to us for our special “War of 1812 Live Auction”.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 19.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Looking at this little treasure, you too will
recognize General Jackson at once, just as you will recognize that it is true
piece of contemporary American folk art at its finest. The CLA is honored to
offer this fine one of a kind carving to you at this year’s event, and hope
that you will join us as we commemorate the War of 1812 and celebrate our
shared American heritage.</span><!--EndFragment-->

MUZZLELOADER's own T.C. Albert is the auction chairman this year and has assembled an outstanding line-up of auction items.

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">As chairman of the CLA live auction committee, I
want to let you know that the 2012 Live Auction is definitely going to be quite
an event. This is the bi-centennial of the war of 1812, and to commemorate the
events of that War I asked for artists to volunteer that would keep this theme
in mind and make a project that related to the War of 1812 in some way. Yes, I
was a little afraid that this theme might scare a lot of artists away and limit
overall participation, but as it turned out, the exact opposite was true. In no
time at all we had over thirty artists making nearly two dozen separate items,
which is the most ever for our annual event.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

some of them might not be up to snuff, but rest assured that each and every
item is the work of a master craftsman and worthy of a place in the finest
collection or museum display. I’m not kidding about that, and one of our items
is actually being showcased in the Tennessee State Museum’s special war of 1812
exhibit right now. Other items are true group efforts, where organized teams or
dedicated individuals in some cases traveled hundreds of miles to various
museums in order to measure and photograph specific artifacts that they wanted
to replicate or bench copy.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

this special series of CLA auction blogs is going to tell you about. Every week
between now and the auction this August we will introduce you to another one of
our artists or artist teams and to the piece they have specially made for us.
I’ve posted a few close ups of some of our auction items here for you to look
at. Maybe you can guess what the items are, maybe you can’t, but either way I
hope you have fun trying until you see the full story about each of
them. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">I think you are in for a real treat. Not only
will you be getting an advance preview of the 2012 live auction items, but you
will have the chance to get to know these artists and learn a little about them
and what they did to create this fine array of items. Along the way I’m sure
you realize just like I have, that there’s no doubt about it, the 2012 CLA “War
of 1812” live auction is definitely going to be quite an event.</span></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I recently found these images tucked in my high school yearbook. I reckon this was me in Greenhorn-Stage 1 (using the Mark A. Baker scale). This was January of 1973, and I was 14 years old. We were shooting in a local muzzleloading club at my uncle's farm. Our local newspaper sent a photographer out to take photos for a story on the club. In perspective, the first issue of MUZZLELOADER magazine was not published until March of 1974.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Good ol' T/C Hawken, .45 caliber. It wasn't as grand as the rifles I shoot now, but it was extremely accurate. Shot some squirrels and placed in a lot of shooting matches with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

My niece, Camryn (11 years old), shot her first deer last weekend while hunting at our lease. She took this spike buck with a bow. Made a good shot through the vitals. My brother-in-law said he was shaking like a leaf while she was preparing to shoot, but that she was outwardly calm and collected, until after the shot. Way to go, Camryn!<br />

This is my second deer this season. Got her on the evening of the 23rd. Another nice doe weighing 134 lbs. Once again, I was using my Mark Thomas .54 caliber rifle.<br />
<br />
Son, Jacob, scored one that morning, but I didn't get a picture before she was skinned. This made three in the family, so it's time to slow down on the shooting. Running out of freezer space.<br />
<br />
I hunted parts of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last week. Saw quite a few more deer, but not the big one, so I didn't shoot. I did have a relaxing time away from the computer.<br />

I have been gone for a few days, taking some time off deer hunt with my flintlock in South Arkansas. Last Saturday evening, I shot a mid-sized doe at about 20 yards with my Mark Thomas .54 caliber rifle. Same rifle that I have been carrying the two previous years. Everything worked right, and I killed my first deer of the season.<br />

Once again, I'm straying a little from muzzleloading, to show you a picture of Mo, on our hunting lease in South Arkansas. Bow season is the only one open, and Mo went hunting last Saturday afternoon. She stuck this nice doe with an arrow from her stand, and then waited patiently to see if any hogs would come in. Sure enough, this 200 lb. boar came in later. She had a small caliber modern rifle in her box stand (just for this purpose). She has had problems with hogs coming to her food plot this fall, and it's legal to shoot feral hogs year-around. She shot this guy at the base of the ear with her rifle, and he dropped on the spot. She was excited. Good job, Mo!<br />

I reviewed The Rogue Republic by William C. Davis in the Sept/Oct issue. This is a good book about the early 19th century revolution in Spain's West Florida colonies (modern-day Louisiana).<br />
