Unlike other works that have focused solely on the artistic merit of these creations, author Tom Grinslade relates each horn, as much as possible, to where it was made and the events that were occurring at the time. Horns from the 17th century to the first quarter of the 19th century are included, representing the period from Queen Anne's War to the Revolutionary War and beyond into the early years of our nation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePowder horns with inscriptions, often identifying the owner and\/or maker, a date and a location, offer the greatest possibility for additional research and so are heavily represented here. Whenever possible, information on the owner or maker is presented along with details of each horn's design. A broad group of horns, including very plain as well as elaborately engraved horns, has been included in an attempt to illustrate the historical events that took place as our nation developed.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrief measurements and details about each horn are recorded. The length is measured to the nearest inch from the tip of the base along an imaginary centerline. Also given are the diameter of the base and the number of pegs or pins used to attach the base-plug to the horn. The inscriptions, if any, are recorded, reproducing as much as possible the styling of the letters. The majority of horns featured come from the author's collection, but a number of other notable horns have been included to offer a more complete study. Over 90 percent of the horns have never been published before and so will be of particular interest to students and collectors.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters include: Pennsylvania screw-tip horns, Southern powder horns, Tansel family horns, New England horns, Indian horns, storage horns, rum horns, priming horns, and buffalo horns.

Rundorff has taken on the challenge of combining myriad sources on the early American frontiersman into this one resource. If there can be said to be one handbook for recreating the frontier scout or spy, this is it. The author focuses narrowly on the Pennsylvania and Virginia frontier during the time of the American Revolution. In keeping his focus narrow, Rundorff paints a picture that is as accurate as possible, primarily utilizing Revolutionary War pension records and the Draper Manuscripts. Defending the Backcountry includes many quotations from these sources, and others, as the author fleshes out the details of the dress, equipment and material culture of these frontiersmen.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a concise historical background, Rundorff then discusses official military operations. He also defines the terms used in this book as he differentiates between scouts, spies, rangers and the like. Other chapters discuss people and places that are intimately connected to frontier scouts and spies. Of special interest is the chapter on the hunting shirt, a topic of much debate over the years. Rundorff presents a clear and accurate portrayal of the evolution of the hunting shirt in 18th century America.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the rapidly changing frontier west of the Blue Ridge. Starting with a trickle of settlers, there probably were no more than 160 families residing west of the mountains by 1735. By 1776 and the American Revolution, the number of settlers had grown to tens of thousands, attracted by the rich soils and pasture lands of the Shenandoah Valley and beyond, into Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the new government sought to bring order to the region, parent counties like Augusta and Lunenburg, which originally were little more than artificial lines when first drawn by surveyors in the wilderness, underwent division and subdivision into smaller political units to accomodate the new settlers. The trio of counties on Virginia’s frontier in the early 1740s [Frederick, Augusta, Lunenburg] would be divided and further subdivided over the next seven decades into more than sixty political units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Karen Treacy has discovered an enlightening and unexpected record in the bounty system for wolf hunters. Early farmers and herders sought legislative relief from the scourge of wolf packs. The Virginia legislature responded by establishing the bounty system. In a time when an average laborer’s earning was $6-10\/month, the $1 to $6 or 100# tobacco from a wolf scalp (depending on the currency and inflation of the time) was an attractive economic draw for every class of frontiersman, even those constantly moving folk mentioned by Clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an important record not only for the two and a half thousand individuals cited but also for a valuable historical window into the activities and growth of Virginia’s frontier society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Papyrus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54193737695523,"sku":"SO-NPP-WOLF","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9279\/2867\/files\/WOLF.webp?v=1754077936"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/9279\/2867\/collections\/colonial_frontier_copy.webp?v=1701196661","url":"https:\/\/www.collectorbookstore.com\/collections\/the-colonial-frontier.oembed?page=3","provider":"Collector Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
