Abstract:

Gunsmithing has a long history in North Carolina, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries in Salem, Salisbury, and Jamestown. Richard Gatling and David \"Carbine\" Williams are among the famous gunsmiths in this ancient and demanding craft. Earley profiles three of the best in the 20th century: Hal Hartley of Lenoir; John Bivins, Jr., of Winston-Salem; and Joe Balickie of Apex.
