Indiana Gunmakers and Their Muzzle-Loading Longrifles   1778-1900

The high-quality book is hardbound and 324 pages of heavy, 100# coated paper with a matte finish.

It contains biographies of nearly 1,000 gunmakers that worked within the boundaries of present-day Indiana between 1778 and 1900 as well as nearly 800 high-resolution photographs of their muzzle-loading longrifles.

The book organizes the gunmakers alphabetically and also by county for easy reference. A section on gunmaker migration includes six color maps that depict county organization and state growth between 1817 and 1840. Statistical tables show what state and/or country the gunmakers were born.

It is printed in full color and authored by veteran student of the longrifle, Jeffrey J. Jaeger.
