Specificatii
The gun, like the axe and the plow, was an essential tool in the
exploration and settlement of the trans-Mississippi West. It
provided food for the cooking pot as well as protection against
two- or four-legged marauders. As the century progressed, firearms
also provided various forms of recreation for both men and women,
primarily target and competition shooting. Of course the employment
of the gun, whether for good or evil, depended upon the user. The
men and women who lived the nineteenth-century western experience
sometimes described in detail the role firearms played in their
lives. Such accounts included a trapper in the 1830s, a woman
crossing the plains by wagon in the 1850s, a drover (cowboy in
modern terminology) enduring the dangers of a long cattle drive, a
professional hunter engaged in the slaughter of the once seemingly
endless herds of bison, or a soldier campaigning against American
Indians. Each account adds to our knowledge of firearms and our
awareness of the struggle faced by those who were a part of the
western experience. Gunsmoke and Saddle Leather describes the guns
impact on the lives of those in the Westmen and women, whites and
American Indiansusing their own words to tell that story wherever
possible.
