Guns and Gunmaking Tools of Southern Appalachia

The Story of the Kentucky Rifle

Gunmakers have a culture in their traditions, tools, and products which this book exposes in very human terms. The people of the isolated mountain valleys of Appalachia tell how they make and use the Kentucky and related firearms and the supplies that go with them, both in the past and today as tradition continues.
