E. Tennessee Fowlers

MikeC · Feb 8, 2009

Is there such an animal? You hear and see much about the rifles but I rarely if ever hear about fowlers from that area. Does anyone know of any examples, pictures?

Thanks

I have looked at and handled an awful lot of Tennessee rifles but have never seen any "fowlers". I do remember seeing an East Tennessee estate record in the early 19th century which mentioned a "shot gun" as opposed to a "rifle gun".I believe the same inventory might have mentioned a "shot bag".

I think if anything you would see Buck and ball guns.. Or what Grinslade calls Kentucky fowlers. Or left over military or trade guns. Tom knows a bunch more about them than I do.. or probably will :haha: :v

Any pics of those so called Kentucky Fowlers? I'm thinking a smooth companion for my .36 when my time comes up. :grin:

my Dave Motto was called a early english fowler but don't think it resembles a tennessee.
