KRA Bulletin | VOLUME 43 | NUMBER 2 | WINTER 2016

This Winter 2016 issue of the Kentucky Rifle Association Bulletin presents original scholarship examining the historical understanding of frontier rifles and the persistence of long‑standing myths within colonial records. Central articles reassess translated and interpreted primary sources that have shaped popular narratives concerning early American firearms.

Through careful textual analysis and supporting historical context, this Bulletin reinforces the importance of revisionist scholarship and disciplined methodology in the study of early longrifle history.
