And this is Indiana's, a rifle built by Vincennes, Indiana gunsmith John Small. Who also served as Indiana's first sheriff. Quite a guy.
At least one of his rifles was along on the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Ahhh, a thing of beauty! And John Small learned his craft in Pennsylvania!

Always wondered Why they didn’t stay in
Oregon a wait for a Ship to pass by ???
