(And yes, I’ve told the “traditonal version” more than several times.) I don’t know the provenance of where the pistols were found after the battles, but as captains usually walked, they should most likely have been on Crosbie’s person.

A great clue-hiding-in-plain-sight example, based on actualling “seeing” and then “reading” an artifact. Thanks again for the quick & thorough follow-through.
