Grenades of the American Civil War

In this video, I briefly discuss two of the most interesting Union hand grenade designs, the Ketchum and Excelsior. As a side note, some diagrams and descriptions show the percussion cap on the Ketchum grenade as being located on the plunger itself. I believe this to be incorrect and the patent description itself also describes it as being located where I show in the video.
