No doubt a Hawken or two made it to Texas. But they were not norm. Jeremiah’s Johnson did much for the Hawken’s popularity.
And Birdy is right. Lots of muskets as well as shotguns were used. Probably way more shotguns than we give credit for.
One of the enigmas of the period is what did the New Orleans Greys carry?? They were issued a military rifle. But, was it a Model 1817 Common rifle or,,,,, was it a Hall Breechloading rifle??? 😁😁😁
Or a mixture of both?
Who knows ??? We just don’t know? Oh well. Matters not to me. But fun contemplation. 😁
I figured there were more shotguns than anything. But I’ve been wrong before. 😬
