GEORGE A. SHUMWAY, JR
19 DECEMBER 1928 - 1 MAY 2011
For over 30 years George Shumway researched, wrote, photographed, and published
information on the history and art of longrifles and related subjects. His home in
York, Pennsylvania was ideally located for studies in this field. Important schools of
longrifle making were located in York, Lancaster, and surrounding towns of
Pennsylvania in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
A true educator, he was always willing to share his knowledge with those who were
interested. His books, available on this website, are his legacy.
