Powder Horns at the DAR Museum

“I powder with my brother ball most hero like do conquer all.” Variations of this verse can be found engraved on many powder horns from the 18th century, including in the collection of the DAR Museum. Used as a waterproof vessel to carry the gunpowder needed to fire a musket, powder horns were often engraved with elaborate and imaginative designs, inscriptions, locations, maps and battles, all personalized to the owners’ experiences.
