    Summary: 
    The life and work of John Small, master gunsmith of Vincennes, Indiana are made known in this work. In 1790 Small was appointed first sheriff in Knox County, Indiana. In 1799 he was elected as representative of Knox County to the legislature in the first election in the Northwest Territory. The biographical and historical background of the book set the stage for the detailed descriptions of the Kentucky rifle and for the numerous detailed photos of Small's guns.
