Greetings from the banks of the Shenandoah...

Well, not far from the river anyway. My handle is "NativVirginian" but my friends call me Doc. Just found this Forum and I hope to absorb as much info as I can. My first "smoke wagon" was a stainless Ruger Old Army (still have it) and I have accumulated several more cap and ball pistols since. I favor the 2nd gen F series Colt Armies and Navies and the Pocket models also. Looking forward to spending some learning time here.

Howdy and Welcome from Texas!
My ancestors were in the Shenandoah Valley, Rockbridge County, while Sam Houston and his parents were there. I contend that our families were friends.
Not a big deal to some, but to Texans, it's a pretty good connection!

A namesake fought with the 1st Rockbridge Artillery, and died in combat in Winchester, Va.

As far as I know, he's the last of my family to die defending his country.
