A new third volume of Kentucky Gunmakers 1775-1900, Epilogue, is now available to those interested in the early firearms history of Kentucky. The well-illustrated new volume adds significantly to the original 2-volume set from 2012 with 2 new schools of gunmaking identified, an array of outstanding new Kentucky guns illustrated in large color images, 250 new names added to the previously identified 1,100 early Kentucky gunsmiths, and a collection of interesting short stories and insights about the state's early gunsmiths.
The book's large 9x12 pages are high quality 100# paper, the covers are well-bound with gold printing, and an attractive dust jacket highlighting the two new schools of gunmaking protects the new book. The new Epilogue volume is available at www.kentuckygunmakers.com, where you will also find captivating "blog" articles on exceptional Kentucky guns and Tansel powder horns. The web site offers a "package deal" if the original two-volume set is purchased along with the newest volume. The new book is a "must have" for historians, longrifle collectors, and contemporary builders who want to "get it right."
