This thoroughly documented, authoritative, and highly readable book not only details the weapons used during the settlement and westward expansion of America but also describes their use by fur traders, trappers, soldiers, and Native Americans.

â€œFor collectors, museum curators, archaeologist-historians, this book is â€” in its field â€” an essential contribution.â€ â€” Kirkus.
â€œA Glossary of Gun Terms, ample footnotes most skillfully arranged, and illustrations â€¦ complement the text which achieves the miracle of scholarship without tedium.â€ â€” San Francisco Chronicle.
