In the fifties when the kids on our block would act out the latest Fess Parker/Crockett episode, the other kids had their coonskin caps and official Disney paraphenalia but I had my father's old drilling rifle from Boston Latin's Jr. ROTC, a "Brown Bess" type flintlock with a wooden barrel and the trigger and hammer removed.

Guess who was top dog...
