Dance Brothers revolver factory, East Columbia, Brazoria County, Texas. At the time of the war the town was known as Columbia. The site is located on the banks of the Brazos River on Main Street, photos 2-5 show the remains of the forge which is in danger of falling into the river due to erosion. Apparently there is a archaeological dig being conducted around the ruins. The main buildings of the factory were destroyed by the 1900 Hurricane. |
