What exactly is a "Country Rifle"? Aside from the fact that they fired a "picket bullet" and seem to have been used exclusively by Confederate forces during the Civil War, I know nothing about them.
Also, I'm researching the possibility that Kentucky Rifles may have been used at the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg, MD) September 17, 1862. Has anyone ever come across a primary source documenting the use of just one of these longarms in the battle?
Thanks,
Scott
