Mike Brooks in Davenport IA
« on: June 01, 2010, 12:12:32 AM »
Afternoon,

Do a lot of pre-1840 camping and looking for a rifle maker in MidWest.  I live in central IL.  Curtis Johnson who wrote Gunmakers of IL 1683- 1900 suggested I try this web page to find Mike Brooks.  Can I get some help.

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
