4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference and a Good Read

At 409 pages, including an appendix of useful information, this is a pretty monumental work. The author undertook to cover the first firearms brought to America through the end of the Colonial era, a period 300 years. There are many illustrations and the text is very interesting. I found a few things I might question but otherwise Mr. Brown has done a great job. Highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very substantial, comprehensive, and informative. You cannot possibly browse through this book without learning a great deal.
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2015
This book proved to be very much better than I had anticipated...when I bought it I had assumed that it was just another picture book. Not true! It is indeed very well illustrated, but the written content is as substantial as you could ever ask. Therefore the book is so much more than just another pretty face. It's obvious that the author really knows his stuff, he explains each and every development in firearms of the period, who developed it and why, and even how many of the various technological processes of production were undertaken. To those only mildly interested in the subject the content might seem to be a little bit of a challenge to read cover to cover, so browsing is probably the best path for them, but even that yields results that fully justify the purchase. But all of that lies in the nature of the subject, and certainly is no fault of the author. There is no doubt that if like me you are a history oriented person that loves learning new factoids about the armaments of that period, this is the book for you. Boy am I happy that I decided to take a chance on it!
