Item Number: DAM-09A
Item Name: Two Militia Civilians Ready to Fire
Description: Two Militia men standing and firing and kneeling to reload his rifle.The series will also attempt to cover probably the most significant battle of the American Revolution.
The militia/frontiersman spirit derives from an early American dependence on arms to protect themselves from foreign armies and hostile Native Americans. Survival depended upon everyone being capable of using a weapon. Prior to the American Revolution there was neither budget nor manpower nor government desire to maintain a full-time army. Therefore, the armed citizen-soldier carried the responsibility. Service in militia, including providing one's own ammunition and weapons, was mandatory for all men.
ADDITIONAL FIGURES SOLD SEPARATELY.
