by Peter A. Alexander.  Softbound, 8-1/2" x 11".  The author began building Kentucky rifles in 1972.  Since then, he has apprenticed with George Shumway, and volunteered at the Gunshop in Colonial Williamsburg, learning 18th century gunmaking techniques.  In 1983, Alexander began writing a column in Muzzleloader magazine.  This book is a compilation of nearly 20 years of those columns, updated and revised where necessary, plus information never before published.
