I am posting this information just in case some of our members have an interest in purchasing this book for their library.
The book was published last year by Ron White of Freeville, NY. Ron is the son of Wes White who put together several manuscripts, mostly dealing with the Kentucky Rifle. Unfortunately, Wes died (in 2007 at the age of 97) before the manuscript was published.
Ron published this book using his Dad's most developed manuscript, the book is entitled
Historic Arms of Early New York . The book is heavily illustrated (click on this URL to view parts of the book:
