Tinsmith Coppersmith?

[Lady Deborah]

I've been trying to help my husband out with some research on Civil War Tinsmiths or Coppersmiths. I've searched and searched the internet and I've searched the library. Any ideas where to find info to help learn how these trades were done in Civil War time?

God Bless

Might want to chat with the folks from Village Tinsmith if you find them at an event
