[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3381860, member: 33119"] If only these old weapons could talk. My son is getting his great grandad's shotgun. My grandpa carried it the day he told a story to my grandmother about going rabbit hunting when in truth he was going to the man he worked for to purchase 160 acres. They agreed (via hand shake) on a price of $10,000 and my grandpa and 5 hard working kids paid it off in four years, we still have it to. This was during the war years and farmers were getting deferments. A lot of cotton was raised on that land. I remember chopping cotton with a few elderly ladies (with bonnets on their heads no less) back in the 70's who remembered German prisoners picking cotton on their dads land. One lady mentioned that a prisoner told her that Hitler said Germany would march across the United States......but he didn't tell them they would be dragging a cotton sack. [/QUOTE]
