Slings in the old west? (Read 251 times)

Jul 24^th, 2024 at 7:43pm Has anyone ever read about the use of slings by Spaniards, Mexican, or Anglo folks out west? I was listening to an account by Herman Lehman ( a German American adopted by Indians) where he says he and a group of his Indian buddies were attacked by Mexicans with slings. Wondering how common this was? ---John

Reply #1 - Nov 5^th, 2024 at 5:18am A few years ago, I read a book by a Russell Osborne. I did post it on the forum,, He kept a daily journal for 10 years about his time as a fur trapper out west, 1840s. And he wrote about his team getting attacked by Mexicans with slings, and having rocks thrown at them. Ryan
