Scurlock, editor: Linda A Scurlock, copyrighted in 2005 by Scurlock Publishing Company, Inc. of Texarkana, Texas, printed in the United States of America by Southwest Printers \u0026amp; Publishers of Texarkana, ISBN 1-880655-17-9. A brief synopsis of the book's contents appears on the dust jacket: \"Amazingly overlooked, yet highly important, flintlock fowlers in Colonial America armed our forefathers with the first truly \"made-in-America\" guns. Doing double duty as hunting guns and firearms for defense, they put food on the table and defended against Indians and enemy soldiers. The common farmer in largely agricultural eighteenth century America often relied on his American-built fowler, about which very little has been written. Few records exist to assist researchers in determining where, how many and by whom many of these guns were crafted. By contrast, the foreign-made guns of the eighteenth century that were imported into America from Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries have been extensively researched and documented. But because the early gunmakers in the Colonies handcrafted guns using recycled parts from worn-out weapons, as well as imported parts from Europe, there are no manufacturing plant records or serial numbers to be traced. To help identify fowlers, which traditionally have been noted by collectors as New England fowlers, club butt fowlers, Hudson Valley fowlers and more recently Kentucky fowlers, the author has photographed over 160 guns for this book. To these groups he has added a new classification, British-style fowlers, and a sixth miscellaneous group, labeled unique fowlers, for those firearms whose features don't fit into one of the other five categories. The book begins with a Preface, followed by a Foreword by Norm Flayderman and the Introduction. It is divided into nine chapters: 1 - Firearms in 15th, 16th and 17th Century America; 2 - The Origin of the Fowler; 3 - Fowler Construction; 4 - New England Fowlers; 5 - Club Butt Fowlers; 6 - Hudson Valley Fowlers; 7 - British-Style Fowlers; 8 - Kentucky Fowlers; 9 - Unique Fowlers. It concludes with a Postscript, an Addendum, a Bibliography and an Index. The book contains 256 pages, most of the pages printed in black ink, with multiple photographs and corresponding blocks of text, plus fifteen pages of color plates on pages 113 through 127, on a coated white paper stock, measuring 220 mm (w) x 285 mm (h) x 17 mm (d). There is a personalized inscription in black ink on the lead page, otherwise, the pages remain pristine.
