The Quill Pen is for writing with ink from ink bottles. The quill is about 16 inches long.

Click on the image for more pictures. Proudly Made in USA.

Here is how you fashion the nib of your quill pen.

This excellent article by Bob Sullivan for Writing with the Quill Pen will get you started. Below are some excerpts:

"The Writing Pressure

LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT!!! Hold the quill as if writing and make small circles with it on the back of your other hand (Try this without ink. :) ) When you can make slight indentations on your hand without leaving a slight scratch mark, you are using the proper pressure to write. The pressure most of us use to write with today is way, way, too hard to use with a quill.

The Ink

Use a good calligraphy ink. DO NOT USE INDIA INK WHEN USING A QUILL! India ink has too strong an adhesive quality, and will not flow freely from a quill...Actually, I recommend that you do not use powdered ink when starting out. Go to an art store and ask for calligraphy ink."

This heavy canvas, lined, collapsible water bucket is 12" deep and 8" in diameter. It has a heavy-duty rope handle. This bucket is an excellent addition to any camp.

A history of the Lucifer Match:

In 1827, John Walker, English chemist and apothecary, discovered that if he coated the end of a stick with certain chemicals and let them dry, he could start a fire by striking the stick anywhere. These were the first friction matches. The chemicals he used were antimony sulfide, potassium chlorate, gum, and starch. Walker did not patent his "Congreves" as he called the matches (alluding to the Congreve's rocket invented in 1808). Walker was a former chemist at 59 High Street, in Stockton-on-Tees, England. His first sale of the matches was on April 7, 1827, to a Mr. Hixon, a solicitor in the town. Walker made little money from his invention. He died in 1859 at the age of 78 and is buried in the Norton Parish Churchyard in Stockton.

In 1829 Samuel Jones saw Walker's "Congreves" and decided to market them, calling his matches "Lucifers". "Lucifers" became popular especially among smokers, but they had a bad burning odor.

In 1855, safety matches were patented by Johan Edvard Lundstrom of Sweden. Lundstrom put red phosphorus on the sandpaper outside the box and the other ingredients on the match head, solving the problem of "phossy jaw" and creating a match that could only be safely lit off the prepared, special striking, surface.

This little tin match box holder is just the right size to hold one of our boxes of Lucifers. The sliding cover protects everything from the elements. The box measures approximately 2 5/8" x 1 3/4" x 5/8".

This Fife is correct for the Civil War period. It is used by both CS and US forces. The bugle is made of maple with brass ends. It is about 16 1/2"" long.

During the Civil War, the fife was one of the main musical instruments that were a part of the battlefield, and others used in camp. Some regiments had full bands for use in parades and as entertainment away from the battlefield. 

The fife was an old instrument, basically a flute with a limited range of notes, and useful on the battlefield because it was pitched so high that its sound carried over many of the sounds of battle.

Ingredients: saponified olive and coconut oils, lard, water. Discontinue use if adverse reaction occurs.

C&C Sutlery bar soap does not contain lye. Early bar soap has been called "grandma's lye soap". Soap must be made with alkali, often referred to as "lye". Back in the day when Grandma made soap she didn't have access to a lye calculator so she had to guess how much lye to use in her soap. That often resulted in what is called a "lye heavy" soap. With the use of a modern lye calculator, our handcrafted soap has no lye in the final product. The lye has reacted with the oils completely to result in in a beautiful, pure soap.

Camp Floyd and the Utah War was used as a strategy by both the Northern and Southern states to divert the nation's attention from states rights and slavery issues. 3500 Union troops, about 1/3 of the entire U.S. Army was dispatched to Utah to suppress a rumored rebellion. President James Buchanan believed restoring order to Utah would unite the Democrats and Republicans and the Northerners and Southerners. John Floyd was the Secretary of War . He and other southern Democrats intended to divert Union troops to the West, deplete the U.S. Treasury by millions of dollars by giving out government contract for the move to southern businessmen, and encourage western support for southern stats rights. Camp Floyd was built in 1858 Fairfield, Utah. The army was recalled in 1861 for the Civil War. There was never a rebellion nor war in Utah.
