Description: Arms Makers of the Connecticut Valley A Regional Study of the Economic Development of the Small Arms Industry, 1798 - 1870. by Felicia Johnson Deyrup. 290pp. Octavo in wraps. Smith College Studies in History, Volume XXXIII. From the Introduction: This study is based upon the following records: The Federal Armory at Springfield, Mass, Ames Manufacturing of Chicopee, Mass, Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co at Arthur L. Ulrich Museum in Hartford, Conn., The papers of Henry Aston, Nathan Starr Sr and Jr, and E.W.N. Starr at the Middlesex County Historical Society, Middletown, Conn., Valley arms records known to exist but not available for this study: The papers of Samuel Colt at the Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, Conn, The letters of Eli Whitney Sr., Early records of Winchester Repeating Arms Co of New Haven Conn. Valley arms records believed destroyed or lost: Business records of the Whitney ArmoryEarly records of J. Stevens Arms Co. of Chicopee Falls, MassEarly business records of Smith & Wesson Co. of Springfield, Mass. This study was extended to the Valley arms industry as a whole, rather than limited to the manufacturers whos records have been examined, since it seemed apparent that those manufacturers are truly representative of the Valley industry, and the discovery of any additional sources of information would probably support the conclusions reached in this study.
