Physical Description: vii, 103 p. : col. ill., col. map ; 23 x 29 cm.

Notes: Includes index.; "This book is published in conjunction with The Historical Society of Berks County exhibit, Berks County Longrifles & Gunmakers, held in the Fall of 2009. It is a concise look at the firearms made in Berks County from the 1750s through 1900 ... The rifles and other artifacts shown in this book are the same as displayed in the exhibit, and although other gunsmiths may be mentioned occasionally, the book's intention is to feature only the examples in the exhibit. The collection of firearms is in no way the limit of the guns made in Berks County during its 150-year reign of gun making. Indeed, it only scratches the surface of the 170 or so gunsmiths that worked in the County during that century and a half. It is not my goal to give a detailed history of firearms in America ... What the exhibit and book feature are some of the most important examples of firearms ever produced in Berks County"-Source: Publisher

Summary: "The original research presented here focuses on the experience of the Pennsylvania militia formations established and evolving over the course of the French and Indian War, and during the subsequent years of Pontiacs War, from 1754 to 1765. In particular, the Black Boys Uprising of 1765 in the Conococheague Region of Pennsylvania serves as the index case, the first time American militiamen successfully defeated British regulars by employing adaptive hybrid tactics combined with accurate long-range rifle fires. This event demonstrates the means by which American militia might achieve tactical parity with British regulars."
