Oscar II was crowned King of Norway
Oscar II was crowned King of Norway in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. It was said of him that he was the most majestic of the union kings. As the new king he inherited a difficult role, since he followed his brother Charles XV, who had become immensely popular in both kingdoms.
Oscar's greatest defeat as king was the dissolution of the union in 1905. Many Swedes regarded Norway as conquered land and compensation for the loss of Finland in 1809. The differing views of the union led to many conflicts. In his memoirs Oscar II wrote that the dissolution had given his heart a deep and incurable wound. He soon grew weaker, and on 8 December 1907 he died at the age of 78.

This article describes the making of a genuine American Southern longrifle. It was made for me by Master Steven Bookout of Toad Hall Rifleshop in 2001 with no modern tools or electricity. The rifle is made the same way as rifles were made 200 years ago.
