Coming soon is our enhanced and expanded edition of George Shumway's extensive photographic study of American longrifles made in the colonial period, the Revolutionary period, and the post-Revolutionary years before the Federal period. All 63 rifles from the 1st edition, plus 10 more previously unpublished examples, are presented with all important dimensions and an average of 12 detailed photographs of each. In addition to the revised and expanded descriptions, the complex subject of the evolution of the baroque and rococo art that adorns these uniquely American treasures is also discussed. About this second edition: CCTP & Shumway Publisher have combined resources to produce this edition, adding full color photographs of 40 of the rifles for enhanced quality and detail. Where color photographs were not available, the black & white originals were re-scanned from the original negatives and enhanced. Where available, new research has been added, along with 10 previously unpublished rifles. New information was supplied by co-author Robert P. Lienemann along with several other well-known collectors and expert researchers of these rifles. When George Shumway published his monumental, two-volume Rifles of Colonial America in 1980, his goal was that the books would encourage further research and bring to light additional early rifles. This new edition has done just that, with over 350 pages and more than 800 photos & illustrations (over 400 in full color), all printed on high quality paper!
