Description
Description
Hardcover, gloss-finished front and back covers with color photographs, entitled "British Military Flintlock Rifles 1740-1840", First Edition, by De Witt Bailey, Ph.D., Andrew Mowbray Publishers of Lincoln, Rhode Island, printed in the United States of America in 2002, Library of Congress Control Number 2002108590, ISBN 1-931464-03-0. A brief synopsis of the book's contents appears on the back cover: "Historians have always been intrigued by Riflemen and the special weapons that they carried. This fascination even extends to the general public, as can be seen by the popularity of such books and television shows as "Sharpe's Rifles". Unfortunately, until now there has been little solid information available about the rifles themselves and which units carried them into battle. In this exciting new book, respected author De Witt Bailey will answer all of these questions and more! Starting with the Seven Years War, he tells the whole story right through the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Age and to the end of the flintlock era. Each rifle is illustrated (exactly where it is discussed in the text) in truly exceptional photographs, 320 in all, with the important details shown in large, clear close-ups. 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. Naturally, a large portion of the book is dedicated to the most famous British flintlock rifle of them all - the Baker. No matter whether you are interested in military history, marksmanship in the British Army, accoutrements and ammunition, or flintlock rifles themselves, this book will be sure to thrill you. Even such unexpected topics as the rifles given as gifts to American Indians in British service are carefully explained and illustrated. And it is all documented by decades of archival research and the inspection of countless surviving rifles throughout the English-speaking world. Whether you are a military historian eager to learn about the exciting story of Riflemen in the British service, or an antique firearms enthusiast who needs help identifying a rifle in his collection, this book will quickly become one of your most trusted references." The book begins with a Table of Contents and an Introduction. It is divided into seventeen chapters: 1 - The Beginnings: 1740-1772; 2- The American War, First Phase; 3- The Ferguson Rifle from Manufacture to the Battle of Monmouth Court House; 4- German Riflemen and their Rifles in the American War; 5 - Loyalist Riflemen 1775-1783; 6 - Indian Rifles in British Service to 1783; 7 - Rifle Development in the Interwar Years, 1783-1793; 8 - The British Rifle and Rifle-armed Units during the French Revolutionary Wars, 1793-1802; 9 - The Baker Infantry Rifle, 1800-1814; 10 - Cavalry Rifles, 1790s-1828; 11 - Postwar Baker Rifles; 12 - Baker Rifle Bayonets, 1800-1838; 13 - Accoutrements and Ammunition for the Baker Rifle; 14 - Rifle Corps in the British Army, 1798-1841; 15 - British Army Rifle Marksmanship with the Flintlock Rifle; 16 - Rifles for Indians in British Service, 1783-1840; 17 - A Miscellany of Unexplained British Military Rifles. It concludes with an Appendices, Endnotes Listed by Chapter, a Bibliography of Printed Works and an Index. The book contains 264 pages, printed in black ink, on a satin-finished white paper stock, measuring 220 mm (w) x 285 mm (h) x 20 mm (d). Near extremely fine.
