New Book, THE FRENCH TRADE GUN IN NORTH AMERICA 1662–1759

[alex e.]

My friend in Canada has written this,I have been privileged to view it a couple times within the last year or so. It deals mainly with gun from St. Etienne. Lots  of good historical information,pictures and descriptions.

Kevin has done his homework and presented it all there for you to see.He is a very thorough individual and has devoted himself in his research more than I can say.If you ever meet him in person he shares whatever he knows freely, passionately.with out any kind of agenda or bias.

I have read sections of this book... it is exceptional in the author's use and mastery of primary sources. He's not only bi-lingual, he understands the archaic French of the original documents. All in all, this is a masterful piece of work.

And, in the interest of full disclosure, I work with the publisher although I had nothing to do with this project except to test-read some of the chapters,

Where did you order a copy from?  I have been trying to get 2 copies of this book to no avail.

Anne, welcome, but that post above is from 2011. The book seems to be out of print now.

About a year ago I decided that I should have this book.  I found a few copies available, but the prices were outrageous.  I called the publisher Andrew Mowbray Publishers, Inc. Woonsocket, RI  (401) 597-5055.  Mowbray still had a few new copies in stock.  A hundred bucks is not quite three times the original price, but then it depends on how bad you want the book.
