EAST TENNESSEE HOG RIFLES by Dave A Byrd. Spiral bound, 8-1/2”x 11”, 154 pages. David Byrd is a life long admirer of the early American gunsmith and his ability to turn a piece of wood and a chunk of iron into a functional rifle. Many of these rifles were intended for tools to provide both food and protection for a family but many went well beyond that into things of beauty with fine intricate inlays and precise carvings. Both types of rifles are covered here. In this new book he showcases the work of gunsmiths in 13 East Tennessee counties including many pictures of the rifles as well as biographical information on the maker.                             703454        Each $24.95
