Written by one of the foremost firearms experts of the twentieth
century, Charles Edward Chapel's Guns of the Old West is an
exhaustively researched document that not only boasts a significant
collection of antique Western guns, but also categorizes the
firearms into easy-to-reference sections.Starting with an
introductory chapter on the origins of guns and their earliest uses
on the frontier, Chapel covers everything from muskets to rifles,
pistols to revolvers, and shotguns to martial arms. Three whole
chapters are dedicated to the rise and fall of the famous Deringer
pistol. And as much as Guns of the Old West is an encyclopedic
reference manual, it's also fascinating historical literature that
frames the world in which these guns were used. Buffalo guns and
hunters are covered, along with martial arms of the post-Civil War
era. The gun collection of famous collector and hunter President
Theodore Roosevelt is given its own chapter.Illustrated with nearly
500 illustrations, as well as important artwork from the Western
period from artists such as Frederic Remington, Guns of the Old
West is an essential work for gun collectors and American history
enthusiasts.
