by De Witt Bailey, PhD. Hardbound, 264 pages, 8-1/2" x 11". Historians have always been intrigued by Riflemen and the special weapons they carried. Until now there has been little information available about these rifles and which units carried them into battle. Starting with the Seven Years War, the author tells the whole story right through the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Age and to the end of the flintlock era. Each rifle is illustrated in 320 exceptional photographs. The types of rifles covered are too many to list, but include such famous weapons as the Ferguson, the Pattern 1776 and the rifles used by German mercenaries and royalists in the American Revolution. A large portion of the book is dedicated to the most famous British flintlock rifle of them all - the Baker.
