Couldn't find any kind of anwer in google or bing.

Was watching a movie set just after the Civil War, about 1865-1875, with DW last weekend and a couple was sitting in a porch swing that very clearly had its chains connected with quick links. Got me to wondering when they were invented. Have they been around that long? I'm probly wrong but my thought is that they were an early 1900s invention.

Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

I don't know. I'm going to guess 2012. Will there be a prize pack?

My guess is 1860. So the movie was historically accurate.
