Announced this week by the Honourable Company of Horners
Jay Hopkins’ greatly anticipated Volume II of his Bone Tipped & Banded Horns book is ready for publication. Initial distribution is set for March of 2022! Those who have seen the contents of Volume II feel this edition is even better and more interesting than the first volume thus making Volume II a “must have book” for your personal library. All collectors of powder horns and Kentucky rifles will greatly benefit from having this book in their library.
This second volume continues his 50-year study concentrating on regional characteristics of professionally made powder horns from the southern US. It has been significantly augmented by collaboration and cooperation with other collectors, students, and museums. The focus of Volume II is on powder horns of the south including North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.
This volume will be hardbound with approximately 320 pages, over 140 powder horns featured and over 600 full color images. Each horn will be illustrated, measured in multiple parameters and the various materials and woods identified. Then, pertinent history and biographical information will be included, as well as an analysis of the horn and its origin.
