KRA Bulletin | VOLUME 43 | NUMBER 1 | FALL 2016

This Fall 2016 issue of the Kentucky Rifle Association Bulletin features a major scholarly article examining the life and work of Conrad Horn, a Pennsylvania gunsmith operating during one of the most turbulent periods of 19th‑century American history. The research places Horn’s gunmaking within the political and social unrest of the anthracite coal regions during the Civil War era.

Through careful use of primary historical sources, court records, census data, and surviving firearms, the Bulletin presents a documented account of Horn’s career and legacy. As with all KRA Bulletins, this issue serves as a permanent research reference supporting evidence‑based study of American longrifle history and material culture.
