“The Worcester County Fowler: Hunting Longarms Turned to War, 1750–1825” Lecture by Richard Colton Tuesday, October 24 | Reception 5PM, Lecture 6PM Skinner Marlborough, 274 Cedar Hill Street By the mid-18th century, something remarkable occurred among a small network of artisans and gunsmiths in Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Setting aside traditional British forms and decorative styles, they adopted distinctly French patterns of flintlock long smoothbore hunting guns. These fowlers were prized and, as often, mimicked throughout the region to the end of the flintlock era in the early 19th century until expanded industrial commercial production overtook the craft tradition.

Spending his early childhood years growing up on Bunker Hill, Richard Colton discovered New England flintlock fowlers in the years following his attendance at the US Naval Academy, and service in the fleet with further study at UMass/Amherst.

Assisting noted collector and scholar Allen Thompson, Colton was sponsored for membership in the Massachusetts Antique Arms Collectors and soon elected to the Board of Directors. Following graduate studies in history, he was enlisted to serve as Springfield Armory National Historic Site’s historian, studying the development of industrial military weapons development and production, in the ranks of the US National Park Service until his retirement at the end of 2015.

Provenance: By direct descent in the McClellan family.

Note: Henry Brainard McClellan was a Philadelphian who moved to Cumberland County, Virginia prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. He enlisted in the Confederate 3rd Virginia Cavalry as a private but was soon promoted to Lieutenant and Adjutant. In 1863 he was promoted to Major and offered the position of Adjutant by Major General J.E.B. Stuart, a position he held until the death of Stuart after the Battle of Yellow Tavern. McClellan then became Adjutant to General Robert E. Lee for three months as Lee decided how to organize the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia.

On August 11, 1864, General Wade Hampton was given command of the Corps of Cavalry and Major McClellan became his adjutant, a position he held until the end of the war.

After the war, McClellan moved to Lexington, Kentucky and became a professor at the Sayre Female Institute. During the years after the war, his former commander, J.E.B. Stuart had come under some fire from other officers and McClellan felt he should defend him by writing a book to tell his stories. In 1885, he published The Campaigns of Stuart’s Cavalry. He was also the 1st cousin of Federal General George B. McClellan. $150,000-200,000
