Guns And Gunmaking Tools of Southern Appalachia, by John Rice Irwin. 118 Pages. Softbound. Gunmakers have a culture in their traditions, tools, and products which this book exposes in very human terms. Vivid photographs display the gun anvils, gunboring machines, rifling guides, bow drills, bullet molds, powder horns, chargers, flasks and other tools used by such famous makers as Hacker Martin and Will Howell. The story told in this fascinating book is one shared by the people of the isolated mountain valleys of Appalachia as each family tells the reader 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. $14.95 (BK-0231)
