Summary: Brass Spikes and Horsetail Plumes: A History of US Army Dres
Comment: After 20 plus years of collectors waiting for this author to finally finish his notes and come up with a solid book containing all she wrote about 1870-90's Army dress helmets..I was somewhat let down ...first;by the lack of unpublished photos...(uses a lot of old rehashed pictures from previously published books)..and foremost; the difficult..unlayman like text that had to be suffered thru to get to any main point in each chapter. Collectors "want the facts Ma'am"....but....somewhat more clearly and unadorned then as in this volume. The author is a life-long member of the National Park Service..so one can only see Govenment style writing here. Overall, certainly the best book on the shelf for this area of US militaria collecting. (by the way...would have appreciated a small thanks for contributing the B.Pasquale Co.info to this book..maybe next volumes update..eh, Gordon? )
