Standard Edition - During the last forty years private collectors of Kentucky's decorative arts and material culture have assembled collections, networked with scholars, collaborated with each other, and cultivated a renewed appreciation of those artifacts that best tell the stories of our early Kentucky ancestors. Many Kentucky families have cherished family heirlooms, but the academic study of the artisans and craftsmen who created these items was lagging. In the last decade museums have begun to showcase these early Kentucky artifacts because of the expertise, passion and generosity of collectors like Norma and Bob Noe, Sharon and Mack Cox, and Mel Hankla. The intense study of the artifacts and determination to learn more about not only the original owners, but also those who made them, have enriched our understanding of Kentucky's past and our own heritage.Dr. Hankla's Into the Bluegrass: Art and Artistry of Kentucky's Historic Icons teaches us about the items that were not only necessary for survival of those early pioneers, but also embellished their lives with each artifact's distinct beauty. This important work elevates our understanding and appreciation of our material culture, while connecting the artifacts with the real history of those who cherished these treasures.

The history of American firearms is inseparable from the history of the United States, for firearms have played crucial roles in the nation’s founding, westward expansion, and industrial, economic, and cultural development. This history unfolds in compelling words and images in A Legacy in Arms, a volume that draws upon the collections of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City to trace the business and art of gun making from the early national period to the turn of the twentieth century. With more than 200 images—almost all in full color—A Legacy in Arms not only documents the inspiration and innovation of arms makers from individual artisans to mass producers, but also describes the development of decorative expression in the gun maker’s art. In an account both entertaining and enlightening, Richard C. Rattenbury details the development of commercial arms making, from the genesis of the Kentucky rifle to the arms of such iconic manufacturers as Colt, Remington, Smith & Wesson, Sharps, Marlin, and Winchester. Into this narrative he weaves the particulars of design evolution and the impact of mass production via the “American System.” The accompanying photographs and illustrations stand as eloquent testimony to the range and richness of the gun maker's craft—and its rightful place in the story of American industry and culture.
