John Kolar is the man on Clark’s.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Try, Gunsmiths of Maryland by Hartzler & Whisker & The Ohio books @ http://aolrc.com/

I believe there is some info in Whiskers Virgina book also.

I recall an excellent KRA bulletin on the Clarks about 10 years ago written by John Kolar.  I'll try to find it.  Nice color photos and history about a swive rifle signed on
both barrels by father and son.
