Spencer folks may want to wander down to Barnes & Nobel this Nov and pick up a copy of WILD WEST magazine (Dec issue). It includes my article on the Spencer Carbine at Beecher's Island. It was here that a tiny Army troop under Civil War vet George Forsyth devastated a humongous attack by Cheyenne warriors led by the notorious Roman Nose. You'll not only see how Spencer firepower impacted the battle, but also how Forsyth's savvy on how to employ the Spencers shreded the enemy attack.
