Please add me to your list. I've done a little reading on this as well as the subsequent Trans-Mississippi campaigns.

On the morning of November 21, 1855, Dow went to the blacksmith shop at Hickory Point to have a wagon skein and lynchpin mended.
I just realized what a vocabulary building activity this thread will be.
Skein - A tapered metal shroud that encloses the end of a wooden axle and serves as the surface that the wheel hub rolls on.
Here is what the skein may have looked like:(click image to read article)

Excellent Homer, thank you for doing this. Come visit me at gettysburg whenever you are in central south pa. I live in hanover about 12 miles from there. Next Saturday im taking the battlefield test. An excellent source for the years before and during the civil war is a multi volume work by Allen Nevins.. Ordeal of the Union (1848-1860) and War for the Union (1861-65)
