Gilchrist, Marianne
Authors
Abstract
The first modern biography of Patrick Ferguson, designer of the first breech-loading rifle used by the British army.
"... painstaking, vivid and accurate. I can think of no short biography which has pleased me more, or thrown a brighter light on to the events in which its subject played his small but distinguished part." Richard Holmes, TV historian and author of 'Redcoat: The British Soldier in the Age of Horse and Musket'.
