That's awesome man. The Hawken belonged to my great great great grandfather's dad, and was passed to him when he came home from the war. He was a rider in the 18th Mississippi Cavalry and was wounded in the opening battle of Shiloh. After the war he joined the Georgia railroad and later became an engineer on the Chickamauga Short Line. My brother has the pocket watch he used and I got the rifle and powder horn (or what was left of it.)
