GREAT book.One interesting thing to note. If you read David McCullough's book 1776, he mentions that during the battle over new York, the Virginians with their rifled barrels were able to take shots at British troops whose smooth bore muskets could reach far enough for them to hit anything when they'd fire back.
So in that case, the militia was better armed than the troops.
