The Hartley drawings show horns which are not documented elsewhere, and the whereabouts of most of the horns is also unknown, so they will all be new to most everyone. The horns were pretty much all in the Mohawk Valley area of NY state and most are pre-Revolutionary War to Revolutionary War period.

Rich, Hope you enjoy the book!! long three years in the making. I understand you have ties to Robert Hartley. must be exciting to see all the drawings he has done and horns together as one..

Yeah, Robt. M. Hartley was my great uncle.  I've been familiar with some of the drawings since I was 7 years old, and saw the rest at the library in St. Johnsville.  Terrific job on the book.
