'For those with a fascination for firearms, this may represent the ultimate book on the American west'. -- American Rifleman

Firearms of the American West, 1866-1894 is a monumental work that offers both technical information on all of the important firearms used in the West during this period and a highly entertaining and informative history of how they were used, who used them, and why.

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.
