To my surprise, I found that many of the removal
treaties with Indian tribes, some as early as 1818, and some into the 1840s,
provided for the federal government to pay for
gunsmiths to provide services to these tribes. Examples: October
12, 1837, Journal Of The Executive Proceedings Of The Senate Of The United
States Of America, 1837-1841, 5:45; June 11, 1838, Journal of the Senate
of the United States of America, 25th Cong,, 2nd
sess., 605-606; Statutes at Large, 29th Cong., 1st
sess., ch. 34; Statutes at Large, 30th Cong., 1st
sess., ch. 118; Statutes at Large, 30th Cong., 2nd
sess., ch. 106. There are many others.
