A Henry on the Red River Expedition

Post by GunnyGene » Sun Nov 11, 2018 10:21 am

A bit of history that may be of interest. One of the first Henry's belonged to Lt. Frank L. Church, USMC. Just a brief mention in his diary: Civil War Marine: A diary of the Red River Expedition. The book is available for free download here: https://archive.org/details/texts?and%5 ... arine&sin=

Here's the page with the mention of the Henry (March 2, 1864):
