Review

Packed with high-quality, detailed photographs of the different types, patterns and parts of the eponymous musket... This is a useful, attractive and valuable book for anyone with any interest in the British Long Land Musket known for so long as the 'Brown Bess.' --Stephen Wood, Society for Army Historical Research

Redefines books on muskets...groundbreaking...dynamic and engrossing. --The Brigade Dispatch, Autumn 2010

A MUST-OWN for the Brown Bess collector... There is not a better reference that is more fully illustrated in minute detail than this. --Gary R. Roedl, Gun Report
