I would love to get the whole documentary. I am going to scour the net later on or tomorrow and try to snag it. You could tell this guy really loved what he was doing. I remember reading about some guy who did this some months back and he blew himself up which of course was the death of him. Those old Civil War explosives are very dangerous. You have to really know what you doing to defuse them.
Tom's gone now, not by blowing himself up but by natural means. He was full of stories and could come up with a smile or make you smile at any time.
These are old videos.... later on, Tom took all the shells that were in his basement (after his wife divorced him) and had built a museum (modified garage) built in his back yard. Hunting with him was always fun. He discarded fragments, button, etc, and only hunted those large, wide signals.
Looking at these video, I'd say that they were from the early to middle 70's. After Tom's death, most of his collection went to the Atlanta Historical Society. Tom was truly a hunting legend. I was fortunate to know him and to help him with his book, "Field Artillery of the American Civil War".
Thanks for posting the videos.
