Roberts is a handsome leather-bound reprint of a classic firearms text originally published in 1944. The book runs 528 pages and provides one of the most detailed examinations of the history, design, and shooting techniques of the muzzle-loading percussion rifle, a firearm that bridged the flintlock and modern cartridge eras. Roberts, a well-respected authority and member of early 20th-century marksmanship communities, discusses rifle construction, ballistics, target shooting traditions, and accuracy testing, illustrated with hundreds of photographs and detailed diagrams.? In essence, the Odysseus edition is both a collector?s-quality reissue and a technical and historical reference on one of America?s finest traditional rifles?celebrated for its craftsmanship and precision as much as for its role in 19th-century marksmanship.
