There is not much original material cited except excerpts taken from many other sources. The book appears to be lacking in links to northern makers in VA or PA that settled in the Carolinas. There are no pictures or descriptions of any example guns. Not a bad reference, if you need basic information or a point of reference for further research, but not worth the price asked in my opinion.
