This YouTube video features a presentation by Joel Bohy, co-author of a new book on bullet strikes from the American Revolution. The lecture, delivered at the American Society of Arms Collectors (ASAC) Spring 2025 meeting, delves into the ballistics of Revolutionary War muskets and examines various arms involved in the conflict. The presentation highlights research reports available from the ASAC library and discusses specific historical locations and individuals, including the Elisha Jones House, James Hayward's powder horn, the Market Munroe House, Buckman Tavern, Monroe Tavern, the Jason Russell House, and relics from Captain William Adams' House. It also reconstructs John Robbin's wound from Lexington Green and touches upon compensation petitions and musket muzzle energy.
This video provides a book review of Osprey's "Weapon" series, focusing on their small softcover volumes dedicated to various firearms. The reviewer highlights that these books offer a good introductory overview and background information on important 20th-century military arms, serving as a condensed version of more in-depth research. While they are inexpensive and accessible for gaining initial knowledge, the reviewer notes they lack significant depth for advanced study. The series is recommended for those seeking a quick primer on specific firearms.
