"The forest music is to hear the hounds Bend the thin air, and with a lusty cry Awake the drowsy echo, and confound Their perfect language in a mingled voice."--Gat. As I did not accompany the amateur sportsmen to the wild prairies and backwoods of the West, I am indebted for a description of the excursion to one of the team, as well as to an account published in 'Forest and Stream, ' by the editor, Mr. Hallock, who had kindly volunteered his services, and organized the expedition. The party was originally intended to consist of ten gentlemen and three ladies; but owing to a delay in the arrangements due to the "Battle of the Rifles," it was reduced ultimately to the following adventurous spirits: Messrs. John Rigby, Edmund Johnson, J. K. Millner, John Bagnell, J. J. Kelly, and Charles Hallock ('Forest and Stream'). These gentlemen met by appointment at the Grand Central Hotel, at four o'clock in the evening, after the match above alluded to was decided, and proceeded to the terminus of the Erie Eailway. My informant proceeds with his narrative as follows: "We started at eight o'clock P.m. in one of Pullman's great sleeping cars, and after a comfortable night's rest (for we had somewhat retrieved our reputation as riflemen), we awoke next morning some 300 miles from New York. At about eleven o'clock we received a telegram down the line that our gallant captain, Major Leech, was waiting for us at the Buffalo Station, where we arrived a quarter of an hour afterwards. Here we met him, and he proposed that we should break the journey, and proceed to Niagara, a distance of about twenty miles. Although we had intended to 'do' Niagara on our return journey, we adopted the suggestion, and accompanied by Major Leech, proceeded to see...

Book excerpt: The National Rifle Association, barely two years old, was ill-prepared when in November 1873 the 'New York Herald' published a challenge to the riflemen of America from the riflemen of Ireland. Their Creedmoor rifle range on Long Island had opened in Spring that year, and there was growing sporting interest in rifle shooting notably from the Amateur Rifle Club of New York City. In Great Britain their National Rifle Association had been established for over a decade and riflemen regularly competed out to 1,000 yards. The premier 'home countries' long range rifle match between England, Ireland and Scotland, the Elcho Shield, was won for the first time by Ireland in 1873. Buoyed by their success Ireland wanted further laurels, and it was the Amateur Rifle Club that accepted their challenge on behalf of the riflemen of America. The subsequent match at Creedmoor in 1874 was the first in a series of international competitions fired at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards that took place during the remainder of the 1870s. It is the forerunner of the Palma Trophy match still held today. The central story of Creedmoor is told via an extensively annotated article from 1876, the writer's enthusiasm giving a feel for the times and in the lead up to the Centennial Match at Creedmoor that year. David Minshall provides background information on events that lead to the Irish challenge and the 1874 rifle match and concludes the story with details of the follow-up match at Dollymount, Ireland, in 1875. Appendices include a chronology of Creedmoor, correspondence relating to the Irish Challenge and insight into target rifles used at the time. Contemporary illustrations are used throughout.

Book excerpt: The 5th Battalion of the 60th (Royal American) Regiment was the first rifle battalion in the regular British Army. Raised in 1797, it marked a significant step in the development of British light infantry and rifle corps. Lieutenant Colonel Francis de Rottenburg, the battalion's commander for almost 10 years, formulated the first British Army light infantry manual. After serving in Ireland during the 1798 rebellion, in the West Indies, and in the Americas, the battalion rose to fame during the Peninsular War. It was one of only three battalions to be present from the initial landings in Portugal through to the invasion of France, and victory six years later. Divided between the brigades of Wellington's army to provide specialist rifle and skirmishing capability, the riflemen often formed advance or rear guards, patrols and outposts. Frequently praised by Wellington and his divisional commanders, the battalion won 16 battle honors. Drawing on official records, memoirs, court martial transcripts, inspection reports, and unpublished letters, Riflemen recounts not only the campaigns in which the battalion fought, but also many personal stories of the soldiers who served with it. Riflemen includes tales of murder, promotion from the ranks, desertion, prisoners of war, and small actions that are often overlooked. As the first history of the battalion written in almost 100 years, it sheds new light on a vital component of Wellington's army and its important place in the history of the British Army.

Download or read book The Gun Book for Girls written by Silvio Calabi and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third installment in the popular series of practical books about guns and shooting is aimed at women of all ages—the fastest-growing segment of the sport—and it couldn’t come at a better time. America and firearms literally grew up together, but today guns are often simply linked to crime and violence; gun control has become a polarizing political issue; and misinformation about firearms is spreading. Now three experts have tackled the subject in a series of books that explores the realities of guns and shooting and sets the record straight about some common misconceptions. On the heels of The Gun Book for Boys and The Gun Book for Parents, The Gun Book for Girls is for girls (and women) interested in guns and shooting but who have little or no background in firearms. Through example and anecdote, the book emphasizes safety and proper usage, and it defines terms and provides hands-on advice about using and maintaining guns. It also covers firearms, shooting methods, clothing and accessories for women, profiles females who shoot and who work in the gun trade, and discusses the issues around guns for self-defense (a topic of special interest to women). Like the other two titles, this book is non-political and written in an easy-to-understand conversational tone. Each book is thoroughly illustrated, and content is presented in easily managed portions that can be read in series or singly, all backed up with an index.
