Rifles of Colonial America, Volume 1, 2nd Edition<\/strong> is an in-depth photographic study of longrifles and gunmaking in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and post-Revolutionary periods brought together many rifles with what was known about individual gunmakers and regional \u201cschools\u201d or styles of work. For each of the 92 rifles treated, there are ten or more detailed photographs. A description of each rifle accompanies the photographs, and many important dimensions are given. The text covers the complex subject of the evolution of the baroque and rococo art that adorns these rifles.<\/p>\n<\/div>

CCTP & Shumway Publisher have produced<\/strong> this expanded, Second Edition, with many of the rifles now photographed in full color for enhanced quality and detail. Where color photographs were not available, the black & white originals were re-scanned and enhanced. A great deal of new research has been added, along with ten previously unpublished rifles. Much of this new information was supplied by co-author Robert P. Lienemann, well-known expert on these rifles, along with other noted collectors & researchers.<\/p>\n

George Shumway published his monumental, two-volume Rifles of Colonial America, with the goal the books would encourage further research and bring to light additional early rifles. This new edition has done just that, with 416 pages, over 900 photos & illustrations (500 plus in color). Hard Cover, 9″ x 12″ format, with Dust Jacket,<\/p>\n

This book is truly monumental, a wonderful study of early American cottage manufactured firearms. As it notes, its’ long arms only [not only rifles] w\/ no handguns. Dr Shumway’s excellent photography is well known & right up there with Bluford Muir’s [in Kindig book]. Covers whole arms. It took decades of photography, usually just 1 or 2 guns per collection. Dr Shumway’s attributions are reasonable. I doubt such an effort could ever again be assembled by 1 man.
\n5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser; James W., Wonderful study.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Must have for those interested in the development of firearms in Colonial America. George Shumway created one of the most detailed collections of firearms of the period. The firearms are listed by region and maker. It is a wealth of information.
\n5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser; Steve, A wealth of information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Excellent resource book.
\n5 Star Amazon Review,Verified Purchaser; Kenneth A., Excellent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really like the new RCA Vol I, love the photos in color and the many angles, and also like the new, added text \u2013 both make the book well worth
\nadding to my library.<\/p>\n

I just got home and found the new book waiting for me. I will start on it this weekend, but it looks tremendous. I’m sure you have a new updated \u201cKentucky Bible\u201d
\nwhich will be used and enjoyed by all enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

I recently got a copy of the new, in color, RCA book. Very impressive! You guys did a great job and I imagine all collectors and students are very appreciative of
\nyour efforts and contribution. I certainly am! Thank you, sincerely.<\/p>\n

I just wanted to comment on your editing of RCA #1. What a fantastic job! Great work on revising a cherished classic! Thank you for what you do for the KRA and us
\nnovice rifle builders.<\/p>\n<\/div>
