Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Automatic Shotgun In offering a buffalo herd to the National Government as a gift the zoological society seeks to demonstrate the interest of private individuals in the fate of our most conspicuous American quadruped. We feel that it is the duty of individuals to do something toward the establishment of the series of buffalo herds that should be established very soon. It is very gratifying to know that the game-refuge bill is in a fair way to become a law. We earnestly hope that the Opinion of the attorney-general in regard to the constitutionality of a migratory wild-fowl act against spring shooting will be as all wish it to be. In view Of the enormous annual outlay for firearms to be used against game birds it is impossible to have too much legislation in behalf of the birds. I have recently been assured by a gun inventor and manufacturer, who has every Opportunity for Obtaining information, that every year there are sold in this country about 500 000 shotguns, of which about 350 000 cost $5 or less. He also stated that in his opinion there are now in use in this country about Shotguns, in which about 1000000000 cartridges are used every year. Of these are manufactured in the factories and the number is therefore well known. The other are shells that are reloaded.

Download or read book Firearms in American History written by Charles Winthrop Sawyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Firearms in American History: 1600 to 1800 The Colonists in America were the greatest weapon-using people of that epoch in the world. Everywhere the gun was more abundant than the tool. It furnished daily food; it maintained its owners claims to the possession of his homestead among the aboriginal owners of the soil; it helped to win the mother country's wars for possession of the country as a whole. These facts alone raise the interesting questions of what the Colonists used for weapons and where they got them. Further, the ultimate outcome of all strife between the Colonists and other people was victory for the Colonists. While the Colonists may have been excellent fighters, operating in the main upon home ground, and while their wars with other white people were side issues of European wars and to a considerable extent dependent upon the outcome there, it is nevertheless a fact that a war is composed of two factors, only one of which is the combatants themselves.

Download or read book Sport With Gun and Rod in American Woods and Waters Classic Reprint written by Alfred Marshall Mayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sport With Gun and Rod in American Woods and Waters We shall have attained our object in this book, if the Sportsman, as he reads it, feels his lungs expand with the cool, balsam-laden air of the woods; hears the sudden whir-r-r of the rufl'ed grouse on the mountain-side, and feels his nerves grow tense as he again stands over his dog and is about to flush the woodcock or snipe; hears the breakers on the rocky coast, as in imagina tion he makes a long cast into the surf; smells the salt marshes, while he hears the cries of the wild fowl and the whistle of the ducks' wings. By its perusal, also, the younger reader may be led to spend his vacations in the enjoyment of sports which are manly and health-giving, which engender self reliance and good-fellowship, and develop a love for Nature. My connection with this volume was unexpected. Some time ago I sug gested to the editor of the century magazine that the various articles on hunting and angling which had appeared in that periodical should be col lected into a book. At the time I made this suggestion, I had no inten tion or desire to undertake the editing of writings describing the pursuit of game, so varied in habits and haunts that no one person could be expected to have had the requisite experience, and it was only at the solicitation of the publishers that I undertook the task. To make the work complete, several papers have been added, some of which are here printed for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guns, Ammunition, and Tackle America stands above all others in the world as a game-producing country. Both climate and soil are just What suit the numerous varieties found in such abundance. It is not, therefore, surprising that it should also produce the greatest number of Shooters and the best shots; there is no doubt that, in proportion to population, the game-shooters of America largely outnumber those Of any other country, England included. It is equally true that they are, as a rule, better shots, use better guns and better ammunition, and have a far more thorough acquaintance with all that concerns guns, ammunition, habits of game, and how to shoot, than their brother sportsmen in other countries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gun Book: For Boys and Men In order that the novice may, early in his study of gunnery, learn the fact that the hand gun is something more than a mere efficient machine of wood and metal, emphasis has been laid, so far as the limits of the book would allow, upon the vital influence which firearms have had upon the lives of men. The gun is really a great human institution, an intimate knowledge of which is necessary to the understanding of history. If this book helps to inspire more reverence for our venerable weapon friend, its main purpose will be achieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy With the Guns My grandson, George William Taylor, a selection from whose Notes and Letters is printed in this little book, was a typical young Englishman, well-grown, well-favoured, manly and debonair. Loving and beloved, happy and with bright prospects opening before him, he lost not a moment in answering his country's call, and for three years and three months bravely and faithfully played the small part assigned to him in the great tragedy of War. He was cut down in the prime of his days, when life is sweetest and death hardest, and rounded off a strenuous and blameless life by a deed of unselfish heroism. His career was short but not incomplete, for though all springtime, it included as much work, well done, as can be performed by most of those who reach the late autumn of life.

Download or read book The Gun and Its Development Classic Reprint written by W. W. Greener and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gun and Its Development This book, first published in 1881, was written with a view to supplying such information relative to fire-arms as is most frequently sought by a sportsman Owing to numerous recent inventions it became necessary not only to rearrange the matter, but to rewrite the book when the sixth edition was needed. The author thanks those critics who have pointed out literal faults in this book, and he has done his best to remove ambiguities and correct errors. He sees no reason to make any alteration of importance, and, in matters of Opinion, adheres to what he has already written, so that this ninth edition is, with the exception of a few minor alterations and some additional pages upon Gun Trials, Single Trigger mechanisms, Miniature rifles and the Rifle Club movement, practically a reprint of the last one. In the arrangement of this treatise the author has followed a method which appears to him the best suited to convey an accurate idea of different small arms and of their capabilities under varying conditions. From the nature of the subjects treated it is impossible that the book could be wholly free from technicalities, but no endeavour has been spared to make the contents readable intricate mechanisms, instead of being described in detail, have been freely illustrated; technical data are presented in tabular form, and theories relative to the action of explosives, the flight of bullets and shot pellets, have been concisely explained. The thanks of the author are due to many sportsmen and others who by their investigations and experience have added to his knowledge of guns and gunnery possibly in some instances the sources upon which the author has drawn have not been acknowledged, but the omissions are unintentional.

Desperate for a comeback, Buck joins Wild Bill Grant’s traveling rodeo for a show in New York, hoping to impress Hollywood and land one last movie contract. But he has scarcely mounted his horse when he falls to the dirt. It wasn’t age that made him slip—it was the bullet in his heart.

They are New Yorkers through and through, but to solve the rodeo killing, the Queens must learn to talk cowboy.
