A French and Indian War battle inside the walls of an old home

A scene depicting a battle, possibly during the French and Indian War, was found in the walls of a 18th-century home in East Hartford. (Hartford Courant).

Art experts are confounded by the image of a large, colorful tree in the center of the drawing. Some believe it could represent Old Man Winter. (Hartford Courant).

Blades from stone to steel.

French & Indian War era Penny knives.

Many good images at this site.

PLEASE NOTE: Patch knives are mentioned in this article, but to date I have found no evidence that patch knives per se existed. I think it more likely that these knives were utility knives, & some may have been used for cutting patch material.
