Book excerpt: Colt Ace By: R. N. Echols Private Investigator Conner Pennington investigates the circumstances of an apparent suicide that is now almost fifty years old. Questions have been raised over the past five decades that brings doubt to the validity – and even the competence or possible cover-up, of the original investigation. Retiring from government service, Conner has followed his childhood dream of becoming a private investigator and has been sought out by a high school classmate to look into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his younger brother, Jimmy Ray. His death in 1965 had been determined by the investigating trooper to be the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Conner’s past experiences have honed his dogged determination to arrive at the truth and ferret out those seeking to avoid the truth. His investigation stirs the ghosts and suspicions harbored in a small Midwestern town and many of its citizens would prefer this case be left in the past. Conner is not deterred from his investigation by those wanting to wish away long hidden circumstances surrounding the death of a troubled young man. The pursuit of truth reaches across the United States and into the lives of those that may have been involved in the untimely death of Jimmy Ray. Haunted memories are revived when the investigation delves into passions, jealousies, and unwarranted assumptions. Follow the evidence as Conner unravels the threads of dark secrets and resurrects from the grave the revealing circumstances of a cold case. In spite of widespread attempts to bury the truth under the dust and memories of past intimate relationships, the truth will be brought to light.

Download or read book The History of Browning Firearms written by David Miller and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

The story opens readers’ eyes to a world of colorful characters living inconceivably complicated existences, shedding blood and narrowly avoiding peril at the hands of zealous fans every night, in order to make a few bucks doing something most of the world views as little more than a fraudulent leftover from the carnival days. But we also see these larger-than-life individuals as real people with families and dreams who suffer pain and battle personal demons…and have a hell of a good time along a road that may come to a dead end at any moment. The story explores powerful themes of fatherhood, family values, failure and redemption, and spiritual awakening. The Last Battle of Wichita follows two men – father and son – both at odds with the tortured souls trapped within their broken and battered bodies. In their stories, separated by thirty-six years, Colt Younger and Joe Lee will head down parallel paths of redemption leading them to discover the one thing that matters most: finding something in life worth fighting for.
