Trust in God but keep your powder dry


Letter from John Adams to James Warren Oct. 1775

Letter from John Adams to James Warren Oct. 1775


I came across this rather length text this morning on the manufacture of
gunpowder at the Confederate Powder Works at Augusta, GA in 1862.

It is an interesting fact that Augusta was the only city of note in the
South, which was not occupied at some time by the Federal forces during the war; here the flag of the Confederacy floated undisturbed to the
end.”
