Double barrel, cap & ball, 12 gauge muzzle loading shotgun. These rifles come to us from the Archie Stevenot archives. Archie Stevenot was a prominent citizen in Calaveras County. Born in Carson Hill, Stevenot helped found the California Chamber of Commerce. He also established the Mother Lode Highway Association in 1919 which was primarily responsible for the creation of State Route 49. As a result, the bridge across the Stanislaus River between Tuolumne and Calaveras counties on SR 49 is named the Archie Stevenot Bridge in his honor. Archie comes from an historic family. His grandfather, Gabriel K. Stevenot, is numbered with the California pioneers. He arrived here in August, 1849. He located and developed a rich mining section at Melons, Carson Hill, Calaveras County. Gabriel and his sons were also responsible for establishing the borax industry in the state.
