Kit Carson and the First Battle of Adobe Walls: A Tale of Two JourneysOn a late November morning in 1864, Col. Kit Carson and his U. S. troops, under orders from the commander of the New Mexico Military Department, attacked Kiowa Chief Dohasan's winter village in the Texas Panhandle. Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped.

On a late November morning in 1864, Col. Kit Carson and his U.S. troops, under orders from the commander of the New Mexico Military Department, attacked Kiowa Chief Dohasan's winter village in the Texas Panhandle. Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped. Fighting proceeded down the Canadian River to the abandoned trading post of Adobe Walls as hundreds more Kiowas and Comanches joined the battle. Nearing sunset, Carson's troops burned Doh?san's village, and although remarkably few lives were lost in the battle itself, the enduring consequences were hardly insignificant. Well-known as an explorer, guide, and frontiersman, Carson's involvement at the First Battle of Adobe Walls has been overlooked. Beginning his research in the 1990s, Alvin Lynn set out to fill that void when he located and walked the 200-mile-long wagon road from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and collected 1,800 metal artifacts from 15 historic camps, including the burned Kiowa village. Among the recovered artifacts were fired friction primers verifying the placement of howitzers at the battle site. With nearly eighty battle site and artifact photographs taken by renowned photographer Wyman Meinzer, Kit Carson and the First Battle of Adobe Walls documents Carson's military expedition from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and Lynn's own journey more than a century later to discover what really happened.Binding Type: Hardcover

BNTECHGO 14 Gauge Silicone Wire Spool 40 feet Ultra Flexible High Temp 200 degrees
Size: silicone wire red 20ft and black 20ft, Color: Red and Black
I'm reworking all the interior and exterior electrical wiring, relay's, connections (body grounds as well) on my 1994 GMC K-2500, the original wire did a good service for the 25 years it has been used. I'm disabled and refuse to pay $50,000 for a new truck (it wouldn't run as well as my 1994 anyway) I was hesitant about this brand or wire, but I thought (I'm not supposed to do that) I would give them a chance thanks to the reviews. I was Extremely Pleased at the High Quality of this "Real Copper" wire, not aluminum w/ coated- COPPER !, tinned very well, the silicone insulation is real industrial grade silicone. I run all my wire inside of braided nylon sheathing and securely fasten it every 24", using adhesive lined shrink tubing over all connections- works very well with this wire, it is easy to form for tight turns, lays straight once laid out, soders excellently (the top notch tinning helps there), I now have several hundred feet of 18, 16, 14 and 12 gauge of this VERY High Quality wire (It will be used on my solar system as well now) Thanks again Amazon for another "Top Quality, First Class" product that I can have delivered to my door, 90 miles from town, AND Thanks to everyone who takes the time to review the items we all could benefit from knowing better what the strong and weak points are

Solders nice, extremely flexible maybe too flexible
Size: silicone wire red 20ft and black 20ft, Color: Red and Black
The wire solders very nicely. It's very flexible, perhaps a little too flexible. I used this wire in a couple speaker building projects. I like to put the wire in a drill and twist the wires together, it's a nice look and helps with wire management. The too flexible part makes it so the wire doesn't stay tightly twisted. To remedy that I use heat shrink at either end to at least keep the wires somewhat together.
