Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Peters & King is the authoritative and most complete history of two important and related American shooting sports companies: Peters Cartridge Company and its parent, the King Powder Company. Thomas D. Schiffer's carefully researched and well-illustrated work details their early histories an…d, especially, their development into premier manufacturers of sporting ordnance. While filled with the technological and legal history of Peters & King, the book is also a history of a particular place and its people: Kings Mills, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. For nearly a century, the massive cartridge plant, with its dozens of buildings and improvements, and the company town King built, dominated this small part of Warren County, nestled on the banks of the Little Miami River. Massive concrete, brick, and steel remnants of Peters & King still stand today, developed and repurposed for the 21st century. This edition includes a new Afterword by the author that explains how the Peters & King site became a refurbished commercial hub, housing luxury apartments & a microbrewery, all serviced by a long-needed new bridge across the Little Miami River. This book remains a valuable resource for a variety of people: sportsmen, collectors, and those interested in the history of Kings Mills. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
