Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped.

On a late November morning in 1864, Col. Kit Carson and his U.S. troops, under orders from the commander of the New Mexico Military Department, attacked Kiowa Chief Dohasan's winter village in the Texas Panhandle. Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped. Fighting proceeded down the Canadian River to the abandoned trading post of Adobe Walls as hundreds more Kiowas and Comanches joined the battle. Nearing sunset, Carson's troops burned Doh?san's village, and although remarkably few lives were lost in the battle itself, the enduring consequences were hardly insignificant. Well-known as an explorer, guide, and frontiersman, Carson's involvement at the First Battle of Adobe Walls has been overlooked. Beginning his research in the 1990s, Alvin Lynn set out to fill that void when he located and walked the 200-mile-long wagon road from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and collected 1,800 metal artifacts from 15 historic camps, including the burned Kiowa village. Among the recovered artifacts were fired friction primers verifying the placement of howitzers at the battle site. With nearly eighty battle site and artifact photographs taken by renowned photographer Wyman Meinzer, Kit Carson and the First Battle of Adobe Walls documents Carson's military expedition from Fort Bascom to Adobe Walls and Lynn's own journey more than a century later to discover what really happened.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good Quality
Size: 2 Colors each 10FT, Style: 22AWG
Good quality wire. Doesn't fail and break after only a few bends or twists like most cheap wire.
The silicone insulator is great for flexibility in tight spaces like guitar electronics cavities.
I'm constantly trying out new part and pickups and found that some cheaper wires were often failing due to being moved around all the time.

Great wire
Size: 2 Colors each 10FT, Style: 22AWG
I needed a flexible durable wire to fix an old model train. It worked perfect. Wire is generally wire. If you require all the special features of this wire it will meet all your needs

Great connectors
Size: 5 pairs
Just finished an overhaul on the stereo system. A couple decks needed new belts and the wife wanted a new cabinet for everything so just take it all apart and refresh. I ordered these plugs to make the backside wiring a bit neater . They are very well made and easy to install if you mess up the polarity just swap the arrel covers, easy peasy. Great quality and easy assembly. Did it improve the sound? Can't say that I noticed that but it is certainly as good and so much easier to connect speaker outputs. I would certainly buy again.

High Quality Banana Plugs
Size: 12 Pairs
Banana clips are high quality, I used 12 awg wires and had no issues. It secures into the plug with 2 small screws, you will need a flat terminal screw driver to install them. The quality was high and made a good connection. If I had to make one complaint it would be that I would tighten the gray piece to the plug and it always kept spinning, otherwise, excellent product.
