  • TENNESSEE RIFLES by Robin C
    TENNESSEE RIFLES By Robin C. Hale A paper presented at the Fall, 1970 meeting of the American Society of Arms Collectors at Houston, Texas Mr. President, members of the Board, fellow members, and guests: it is a pleasure to be able to present this paper to you on one of my favorite subjects - the Tennessee Rifle. When I first considered giving this paper, I thought that it would be appropriate to present it at one of the Societg'e meetings in the east, where the majority of the Kentucky rifles were made. However, a large number of Kenhckies, including the Tennessee variety, were brought out here during the western migration and still turn up in the west from time to time. Because of this, and because what 1 say here may facilitate recognition of Tennessee rifles on the part of those who have not had the opportunity to delve into the subject, I think it most fitting that I give this paper in a city named for one of Tennessee's most famous heroes, who came west with many other Tennesseans to help the Texans win their independence from the Mexicans. I hope that my taIk will be of interest to you, and 1 will gratefully achowledge any help which the membership can provide in my research on Tennessee weapons, particularly bringing to my attention examples of rifles which you think may be Southern in origin. Until relatively recent years, very little had been published ROBIN C. HALE on Southern ent tuck^ rifles. Occ&ionally there would be a statement to the effect that Southern riftes tended to be unornamentative and iron-mounted, with a grease- or tallow-hole in the buttstock instead of a patchbox.
