this is his musket, and it is in many ways a typical middlesex county firearm. the militia and the minute companies were responsible for bringing their own arms when they responded to. in other words, you are not issued arms, you bring them from home. this is a fowler, what you use to hunt birds with, at its french. -- and its french. it's either going to be french or english or maybe dutch. this one is french. it was used, you can see, even after it's use of the battle, it was used until it fell apart. and that's why it survives, then seems to have gone into a barn and stayed there. it also retained its history. that's why it wasn't thrown out, because it was remembered that this took place, this took part in the battle at the north bridge. and then these are interestingly almost the only example of an item of costume -- certainly in our collection, but i don't really know of many that you could plausibly say was worn in concord in 1775, not by one of the militia, but by hannah hunt. she's born in 1763, she's 12 years old in 1775. if you can imagine these being

those musket balls were referred to in one newspaper as melted madgy. they were to be issued out and fired back at the ministerial troops as they called them. so at this point we ask visitors in that very first gallery four big questions to kind of frame their journey through the galleries. and the first of those questions is how did people become revolutionaries? and when they come back to the statue of king george iii, they should be able to answer that question of how people become revolutionaries. the second question we ask is how did the revolution survive its darkest hour? because, of course, while all this lofty language about liberty and rights and creating constitutions and remember the ladies is going on, the largest overseas expedition in european history is headed toward new york. and so the mural that you see beside me here is an eyewitness depiction, which we've blown up as a mural showing five british warships and about 6,000 british and hessian troops in landing boats about to land on manhattan island. it's 1776. at the time one of the s

this piece on the end, the continental $3 bill has a great connection to this musket. it is an eagle cracking can and in legend which translates as the outcome is uncertain. if you look carefully at this you'll see in the head of the eagle slightly concealed between hammer here. you'll roek can go noise that same symbol has been engraved fwi lock smith on this as you were riing those out is something we speak about today. a pair of pistols here. they relate to an interesting character of the lev lugs. >>> it his father is still askered to be the founder of the luthera disturb. there were theology and natural sciences in the military. frederick was the first speaker of the house of representatives and considered an important figure in the adoption of the bill of rights. he was or daned as a minister. he had been or daned in the church of england so he could go to virginia and take audiotape clauling to preach. he became very ko andier man will so called german regimens and serves through 1783. these are the pistons he carried through the revolution. he beto his oldest s

so now you have a musket ball here.e amazing thing. this musket ball here recovered by archaeologist at monmouth battlefield in northern, new jersey was fired on june 28th, 1778. scientific analysis looking at the elements has matched that musket ball to the original statue. that is a piece of melted majesty. fired at the british. be a that be is incredible. pete: what you on paper has to be defended by force of arnlsz. >> that is correct. clayton: tell us what have you here. >> wanted to show the way you make those musket balls is in these bronze or stone or iron model. you pour that melted lead. it's turned into ammunition, which, today we are used to, we have a cartridge all together, you put it inside and fire it. then you had to assemble each one of those charges inside. so had you a cartridge which was essentially a paper tube with gunpowder and one of those musket balls and you would put a little powder in the pan here, you would put the rest of the powder down the barrel. pull the ramrod out seen this in the mov

"rise like men and come to me," it says. and he instructed his companies and recommends to assemble and charlottesville, lynchburg and stanton without delay. men like rosser and mumford and others, to them the war was not over. the union high command, and we just heard a great deal about, they saw things differently. we will go back to major winfield and cott hancock, who is in charge of the middle military division. the map you see is representing the valley. he is in charge of a much bigger area. his headquarters is in winchester in april 1865. from is headquarters, hancock writes the secretary stanton. he

oliver: here is jeff muskets. something i never thought we would be discussing, sonic booms. this means for travel. jeff: the effective speed limit on most overland flights in the u.s. and around the world for 45 years has been 660 miles per hour. traveling at about 30,000 feet, that is about the speed limit for most commercial planes because any faster than that and the planes are going to break the sound barrier, creating a 30 mile wide continuous sonic boom that is going to shatter any windows below and spook farm animals. oliver: 30 mile wide. wow. carol: we have been here before with the concorde of the 1970's. they were around for a while and then they went away. jeff because of this problem. : there have been hurdles that supersonic transports need to cross, notably carbon emissions. and airport engine noise. the sonic boom has been the far,st problem by andributing to the concorde -- oliver: there has been technology advancing us to a point where potentially we were not have to worry about a sonic boom. tell us where this is coming from. jeff nasa. : researchers deter

all of these fit into the budget of a musket or a budget done so we can do all those things for thisountry. elizabeth: want to ask a personal question. the past 24 hours we visited a local manufacturer, beretta, a good manufacturing company. is there a lot of speculation that perhaps maybe you are looking at perhaps the governor's race here in the state of tennessee. do you have any news you want to break here? we love breaking news. >> elizabeth, thank you for asking. i'm really obligated to do what i said i would do. when i went to congress to do and not is to get our spending under control. i feel so good about that. that's the progress we are making. elizabeth: if you ever want to break news, we do it here, but we know how much you have on your plate and we appreciate your time. >> great being here with you. i took her to her of beretta u.s.a. manufacturing. we'll have that here in the show. of course, keep your right here on fox news all day long for the latest on the health care bottle. be sure to tune in at 2:00 p.m. eastern to catch if his interview with senator rand paul is

those musket balls were referred to00 in one newspaper article a melted majesty. it was to be issued out to the continental army and fired back at the ministerial troops as they called them. there's only a few fragments of that statue that have actually survived. it is a great story. there was a collector in philadelphia whohe already duri thee revolutionary war was starting to collect objects and documents and knewct this was going to be such an important story to w document, actually wrote a better to some citizens and knew it would be such an important story to document. these fragments had been hauled to turn into melted majesty asking if they would send a fragment to them. it doesn't appear they did. the few pieces that survived being melted down, i think people were a little concerned about getting caught. they consider kind of dpforgott but many in the 19th century when they area was drained and plowed. even a few were found more recently. people went back with metal detectors and sort of located them through careful archaeological study. we know of maybe a

fast food and three musketeers bars.ouise mensch, i am still want to single out any one person because there are some the conspirators on the left. but she was a member of poll, a published maritimes author, and kind of a serious person, i thought. and somewhere along the line in the past year, she's taken statements like she did this year that the death penalty was about to be applied to stephen bannon. two questions. what happened, and second how can she be taken seriously by mainstream figures in the press? still given that she read stuff like that. >> i don't think there is any level of derangement that is too far to go. everybody throws around the word "treason" with relation to trump and the russians. the penalty for treason is deat death. if you think about it, the left isn't invested with that tell a man guy who shortly after capture and afghanistan, shortly after 9/11. they were interested. he was actually fighting with america's enemies. and afghanistan. but nobody wanted to hang that guy. because treason of th

one thing you have to realize is that going on one of these shows muskets faster.ife is speeding up. you continually speeding up with furthermore, the time between these innovations has to get shorter and shorter. so something that we just saw that may have taken 100 years 1000 years ago now only takes 15 years. and so on. so the question is, if you take this argument to conclusions is that not only are we going to have to make another innovation shortly. in fact the data shows in the next 2025 years they have to make another innovation of the strength of the it revolution that eventually will have to make innovation every two years and then every one year and every six months and it is crazy. so something has to give. the system cannot be sustained this way. all you are doing with the automation in this picture is postponing the collapse. so the question is how to come to terms with that and i'm going to finish on that point. i'm just going to go back. i'm going to show you this, my last slide of this. i did not show you. i did not point out what i showed you the

mark twain wrote american soldiers fighting in foreign wars were carrying a polluted musket underwrite a -- under a banded flag. even wanted to change the flag, replaced the stars with skull and cross bones symbols. [laughter] in the context of today we are looking back to see how people understood exactly what was going to happen, i have to review this one little piece from mark twain which you probably have not read because it does not appear in many places. after america decided to pursue the career of international coercive power, mark twain was horrified. he had traveled the world. he had seen the faces of european imperialism in india and south africa. he was once invited to be a toastmaster at a dinner for the==== -- for winston churchill. after the other speeches, they spoke about the great friendship and 20 u.s. and britain. -- between the u.s. and britain. he said he knew what america did in the philippines and solid britain did in south africa, so he wanted to tell us that has truly kin in sin. [laughter] here is a little scrap that mark twain wrote in his depression over th
