DAVIDSON COUNTY — A new book written by one of the state’s noted authorities on North Carolina longrifles details the rich history of longrifles made in Davidson County. The book, “The Longrifle Makers of the Davidson School,” was written by Greensboro resident Michael Briggs, who has also written books about longrifle makers in Guilford County, Mecklenburg, Rowan and Salem. The 314-page, full-color book includes hundreds of illustrations of Davidson longrifles and an introduction by noted Davidson County artist Bob Timberlake, who has had an interest in longrifles for much of his life. According to Briggs, Davidson County had 21 gunsmiths — all of them in the northern part of the county — who made longrifles between the 1790s and 1850s.
