With over five hundred photographs, this study is encyclopedic in its detail. Drawing on advertisements from newspapers, catalogues, and other primary sources, the authors discuss all the important military and civilian firearms used in the settling of the West, including rifles, shotguns, handguns, as well as the guns favored by the Native Americans.
