The blacksmith is one of the most important tradesmen on the frontier. With ties to England severed, all imports to the American colonies have abruptly ended. Firelocks, swords, axes, and knives are now necessary but in short supply. Blacksmiths across Virginia are being called upon. Without their knowledge, skill, and willingness to serve, the hopes of Congress may be lost. Watch as the blacksmiths at Martin’s Station demonstrate their craft and talk about supplying a company at the onset of revolution.
