Description

Here is a book for the historian, the student, the gun collector or aficionado…It approaches understatement to call Guns on the Early Frontiers an outstanding contribution to firearms literature. It sets its own standard. –New York Times. A Glossary of Gun Terms, ample footnotes most skillfully arranged and illustrations beyond the dreams of avarice complement the text, which achieves the miracle of scholarship without tedium. –W.H. Hutchinson, San Francisco Chronicle. Not the least interesting portions of the book are the notes and glossary and the excellent bibliography. Here [is] a book designed primarily for the serious collector or gun historian, but whose readable style should appeal even to the casual amateur. The collecting of old guns, whether privately or by a public institution, involves a certain responsibility. These guns, whose history is inextricably linked with the history of settlement, require something more than careful preservations. They require–and the present volume goes far to supply–accurate documentation. –Canadian Historical Review. Carl P. Russell, a leading authority on firearms of the American frontier, was coordinator of planning for the science and history museums and other interpretive facilities of the National Park Service in the Western United States.
