I am writing you to thank you for creating Richard Sharpe. Your books (and soft pretzels with mustard) carried me through a year of life altering chemotherapy. This past weekend, I had the bucket list experience of actually holding an authentic Baker rifle, model correct for 1812, as well as an authentic powder horn for the Baker rifle.  Numerous reenactors from the UK participated in the  200th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.  I zeroed in on the green uniforms and that was all she wrote.
