The Guns of the Gunfighters: Lawmen, Outlaws & Hollywood Cowboys
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The romance of the Old West remains strong, even more than a century after the heyday of cowboys and gunfighters. This all-new title explores the romance of that bygone era, focusing on the guns that the legends of the West-good guys and bad guys, real and fictional characters-carried with them.
Profiles of more than 50 gunslingers, half from the Old West and half from Hollywood, include a brief biography of each gunfighter, along with the guns they carried. Fascinating stories about the TV and movie celebrities of the 1950s and 1960s detail their guns and the skill-or lack thereof-they displayed.
Stunning color photos depict each firearm in glorious detail. These guns range from custom-crafted high-end arms to non-functioning gimmicky props.
• Firearms carried by more than 50 real and fictional characters of the Old West
• Emphasis on the TV and movie stars of the 1950s and 1960s
• Modern and historic photos show each of the firearms
