KRA Bulletin | VOLUME 41 | NUMBER 3 | SPRING 2015

The KRA Spring 2015 issue of the Kentucky Rifle Association Bulletin features a major historical study of Colonel William Fleming, examining his life as a physician, frontier soldier, statesman, and early American leader. The article places Fleming within the broader military, political, and social landscape of the 18th‑century frontier, with particular emphasis on his service during the French and Indian War and Dunmore’s War.

The Bulletin also includes a detailed examination of Fleming’s engraved powder horn, interpreting its imagery as a reflection of post‑war culture, identity, and personal symbolism. Additional research content highlights notable Pennsylvania and Virginia firearms and accoutrements, reinforcing the Bulletin’s role as a primary research archive for early American material culture.
