Weapons of the Lewis and Clark Expedition

Weapons of the Lewis and Clark Expedition

by Jim Garry

The mix of arms carried by the expedition extended beyond rifles and muskets to include pistols, knives, espontoons, a cannon, and blunderbusses. Each chapter focuses on one of the major types of weapons and weaves accounts from the expedition journals with the author’s knowledge gained from field-testing the muskets and rifles he describes.

Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification

Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification

A Guide

by Daniel M. Sivilich

Foreword by David Gerald Orr

Introduction by Douglas D. Scott

Contributions by Henry M. Miller

Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification: A Guide traces the history of musket balls and small shot, and explores their uses as lethal projectiles and in nonlethal alterations. Sivilich asks—and answers—a variety of questions to demonstrate how a musket ball found in a military context can help to interpret the site: Was it fired? What did it hit? What type of gun is it associated with? Has it been chewed, and if so, by whom or what? Was it hammered into gaming pieces?

A Legacy in Arms

A Legacy in Arms

American Firearm Manufacture, Design, and Artistry, 1800–1900

by Richard C. Rattenbury

Foreword by R. L. Wilson

Photographs by Ed Muno

The history of American firearms is inseparable from the history of the United States, for firearms have played crucial roles in the nation’s founding, westward expansion, and industrial, economic, and cultural development. This history unfolds in compelling words and images in A Legacy in Arms, a volume that draws upon the collections of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City to trace the business and art of gun making from the early national period to the turn of the twentieth century.

by Randy Steffen
