Been some time since I contributed anything to the Forum; life has been Hectic. But I have kept a voyeuristic Eye on the Forum all along - checking in several times a week and seeing what's going on. Hope to contribute a bit more here and there in the Future - more later.
Anyway, have always been intrigued by the Amusette since reading Johann Ewald's "Diary of the American War" many Moons ago. Anybody have any comments/references on this? I can see how it could be used to quite good Effect in many instances.

ps - Wasn't sure whether to put this under Rifles or Artillery, since some were simply large Rifles, and some were actually made & mounted as long thin "Cannons"....it's the the large Rifle version that particularly interests me.
pps - Anybody know where I can get a Copy Ewald's Book auf Deutsch?
