On Father's Day, June17th, the Museum and Library Committee will open for all, a new ebook:
"Gunsmiths of the Upper Susquehanna." To date ( 6/12/2012), it presents biographic data of 140 gunsmiths from Synder, Centre and surrounding counties who worked before 1899. It also contains and presents, in detailed color, photographs of more than 80 guns, most signed, of 40 of the makers. Most extroridinarily, it will be a "living " volume that will be added to as more information becomes available and more guns photos are conrtibuted over time. There are many to be thanked for their efforts and conrtibutions. Amongst those are Richard Nornhold, Jr, Mark Laudenslager, Ron Gabel, the many collectors of Upper Susquehanna guns, and numerous auctions houses. Anyone wishing to add information or gun pictures, please email fgarner@verizon.net
This work will remain a free reference source for all members on this site. It is copyrighted.
