Has anyone run across a book called "Firearms in Colonial America 1492-1792" by M.L. Brown? I picked up a copy at the Fort at Number 4 in
New Hampshire last weekend. It has a wealth of information and a large number of fine photographs.
I have been planning my next project; at first it was going to be an early long rifle, then I thought maybe a F&I period fowler musket. But now
this book has got me thinking about a lot of other options. The only firm criteria is that I want to use my well seasoned maple blank.
I can't believe that after all these years I missed this book; better late than never I guess. Decisions...decisions...
