About the Proprietor

---

Thanks for visiting my site! I'm the owner of Paper Cartridges LLC, and I've been making (and researching) historically correct Civil War era bullets and cartridges for the last 15 years. I still love shooting the old muskets, and hope you will enjoy shooting my cartridges as much as I do! In addition to making the products sold here, I am a historical researcher and author, having written several books on 19th century arms, ammunition, logistics, and military history, including The Destroying Angel, The English Cartridge, and Like Fire and Powder. I enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve in 2010, and later commissioned as an Ordnance Officer at Fort Benning OCS. Today I am a Logistics staff officer, and have had the privilege of commanding two awesome Army Reserve sustainment companies on two overseas deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Spartan Shield.
