    I have one of the New Jersey muskets. Pulled out of the water 1963.

      @@ErikKSwanson- it is one of the ugliest guns you ever saw. Brass buttplate survived and "New=Jersey" and the rack/slot numbers are fresh and clear. It is depicted in a Williamsburg book called "Material Culture." This was a 1755 Wilson contract fusil. I also have a 1757 Wilson New Jersey contract fusil. Possibly confiscated by GW at Trenton

    In our Studies of North American History, in Canada. When I Grew up, up there. Our instructors made many References too how Bloody & Brutal the English,& the French Forces were to each Other. And they Pointed out how both Sides, would fully Encourage the Practice of Scalping, by way of Thier, Indian Allies. This Method of Scalping, during the Raids. This would then, Allow them too present the Scalp Locks, for Presents n Annuities given by the Two Colonial Powers. In Exchange for the Deeds these Indian Auxiliaries, Accomplished for the Forces & Officer's, they Fought For.
    Before the French & the British started the Practice. IT is Said, that it was the Spanish,& Portuguese, plus other Cultures. In many Different Places as well. An they say man is a Nonviolent Race Basically. Well that's BS. If you ask Me.

      There were certainly a lot of brutal acts on all sides during the war. And many violent, atrocious acts committed in wars right up to the present day

    Could muskets be used while raining..?
    It's always baffled me how armies with such weren't fought while raining; and for the natives to not realise this is questionable..

      Muskets really don’t do well with moisture.

    Then the Brits came back….. and that was the end of the French on the American continent.

      The French influence is still seen in Quebec and Louisiana
