Hey, thanks once again. I've run into a bunch of "Krag" sites and that's pretty much the info I'm finding. I guess my dream of finding out he was a foot soldier with the Rough Riders going up San Juan Hill isn't going to come true, but that's fine, I'm more interested in finding out the history of the gun and its owner, so I'm going to head out to Pennsy and visit some cemeteries and elder relatives whom I'm hoping will still have sharp minds or possibly family bibles that might shed some light. Boggles the mind that my in-laws are more interested in Words With Friends than taking any interest in this venture.
Jim
