A captivating and wonderfully illustrated chronicle of one of the
most influential and legendary names in gunsmithing history. John
M. Browning was born in Ogden, Utah, in 1855, into a world of
gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known
for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, John
spent hours in his father's shop and allegedly knew the name of
every part of a gun before he could read. It's hardly surprising
that at age twenty-three, he was filing his first patent for the
"J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle." Browning inherited his father's
gun making shop, and with funds of less than a thousand dollars,
developed it into a highly successful business that developed
several iconic firearms including the Colt Peacemaker. Browning
also cooperated with Winchester to develop a whole range of small
arms including semi-automatic pistols, single-shot rifles, repeater
rifles, and machine guns. His enthusiasm and creativity have led
many to believe he is the greatest firearm designer of all time.
This fascinating book describes the Browning history, and in
addition to covering the full range of inventions and designs, also
shows various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers' drawings,
and interesting photographs of the weapons in the hands of users.
The History of Browning Firearms makes a perfect addition to the
libraries of Wild West buffs and firearms enthusiasts.
