Great piece of history that us lefties can appreciate. Never had to deal with a belligerent teacher forcing me - for I always wrote with my right hand. Though I witnessed it in school. But everything else done left handed, footed, and left eye dominate....oh except when it came to eatin, then both hands were used. Thanks for sharing the artifact.

I am a Southpaw who shoots right handed, always have.
One question I have is was there a determination of the ethnicity of the corpse. I have seen several places that leftys were common among the Indians; was wondering with the bells and beads in the grave. Either way it is an interesting piece of history.
The presence of bells and beads in the grave also made me wonder about the owner.
No mention of the corpse was made however it must of been someone of some importance because in addition to the left hand Fusil the remains a regular right hand Type C Fusil was also found.
I would think that burying two firearms in an area where firearms were considered valuable items would be unusual to say the least.
