This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.

Being a student of the whole Creedmoor match history, this is interesting reading to me, but it is an OCR project, untouched by human hands (or much in the way of imagination or formatting).  If you are familiar with the terms & names, you can follow through & learn much.  If not, you may be frustrated.

I've read the digital version.  Buffalo Arms sells a paper copy.

It is a very interesting book that covers much of their trip, including a lot of sight seeing.  I enjoyed their perspective.   The author is extremely verbose.  Maybe more than any other author I've read. 

I enjoyed it a lot.  Not quite as much as H.V. Perry's book.

Chris.

It's available in multiple formats not just OCR.

I was lucky enough to find an original copy 10 years or so ago.
