Description
Johnny Sites was known as an expert gunsmith, one of the finest in the country. Settling here in Arrow Rock at the time of the westward migration, Mr. Sites would barter for most of the supplies he carried in his shop, but "cash on the barrelhead" was required for a rifle purchase. To get some idea of how valuable a good rifle was, compare it's cost ($25-$50) to an acre of land ($1.25) or a wagon ($60). (Arrow Rock, Missouri)
