The exciting, true story of the guns that fought the American Revolution, including intimate details of the men who carried them and the desperate battles in which they served. Not just a technical study of old firearms, this is a tribute to the bravery of the men who fought on both sides of that epic conflict and a celebration of the tools of freedom that have become so much a part of our national character. Includes many never-before published photos! (The Smoothbore Longarm in Early America, including British, French, Dutch, German, Spanish and American Weapons).
