From the DJ: "Here, at last, between the covers of this handsome book is the definitive treatise on Kentucky rifles that students and collectors have long been awaiting. Over a period of fifty years, Joe Kindig, Jr. has been buying, selling, and trading Kentuckys with the result that today his arms collection contains more of the finest Kentucky rifles than any other in the world. Two hundred and sixty-six of these most important guns are illustrated in this volume in 856 photographs of generous size and exquisite detail. The book details the 262 of the finest pieces from Kindig's famous collection. Kindig's study of the Appalachian Piedmont (Eastern Pennsylvania to South Carolina) Flintlock rifles recognizes it as an important art form. Chapters address Kentucky rifle nomenclature, history, regions (Lancaster, Bethlehem, Reading, Lebanon, Dauphin, York, Littlestown, Emmitsburg and Chambersburg), and makers. A valuable treat for the gun collector or rifle historian in your life! 561 pages. The book is clean with some light edge soiling. The DJ is rough with edge tears and chips as well as some staining.
