SPB023 - Defending the Dominion, Canadian Military Rifles
1855-1955, D. W. Edgecombe. 168pp, 80Ill., Hard cover, CDN$59.95
(approx US$46.00)
The author has researched the use, acquisition and disposal of every
known purchase of longarms by the Canadian Militia between 1855 and
1955. The dates were chosen as the logical commencement of Canada's
Militia, due in large part to the Militia Act of that year, while the
end date brings to a close the general issue and use of the
Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle. This 100-year perid is unsurpassed for the
design and invention of rifles. The book contains 13 appendices, a
bibliography and end-notes. This is a 'must have' addition for any
firearms enthusiasts' bookshelf. |
