I couldn't believe it. I went to the book store and saw the Civil War Book Smithonian. I have wanted it for a long time now. But while I was just page turning, I stoped on page 115 to look at the guns and there it was. Under the picture of a Springfield Model 1842 was the words " Tower Rifle". The book said the gun was made in the Birmingham Europe. If this description was wrong. How many more could be. Especially a book about Smithsonian artifacts. I sure hope the Smithsonian didn't label theirs wrong.
