In this title, readers will examine the weapons—large and small—used by both the Continental and British armies. The three types of cannon—guns, mortars, and howitzers—are covered, as are smaller guns such as land pattern muskets, rifles and pistols. Swords, bayonets, and knives are also examined. Continental and British naval warships are introduced. Abdo & Daughters is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
