Concord Patriot Story of a Soldier and a Revolving Pistol
In Concord the patriotic volunteer Luther Grover of town is hailed by Concord railroad depot workers who on furlough presented him a six barreled revolving pistol as aid to a Massachusetts regiment soldier in Capt Webster's company. The note adds a light aside about a game leg and a sporting character.
