RE: Related video on derringers
Rich,

We have a volunteer at the museum who has a PhD in history, retired from the National Archives, and now teaches continuing education courses at our community college on History and Hollywood. We had him give a brief introduction to the movie last Saturday. I believe he did say that it was based on the 144th NY, but the unit was changed to the 304th Ohio(?) in the movie?

Interesting background on the movie and how John Huston had it planned as a long production. He got pulled off the project, and the studio heads chopped it down to one hour and ten minutes.

The movie also got me interested in Audie Murphy - what a hero!
