    Kentucky rifle books wanted

    Wanted books on the history of the Kentucky rifle. Thanks.
    Just because it did not work does not mean it was not a good plan!

    Re: Kentucky rifle books wanted

    The Kentucky Rifle by Capt. John Dillin (pub. 1929, but reprinted many times)

    Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age by Joe Kindig, Jr. (pub. 1960s)

    American Rifle, a Biography by Alexander Rose (2009) This is a general information book, but a great read.


    I ain't parting with mine, but these books will get you what you want to know about Kentucky Rifles.
