George Washington insisted that his portrait be painted with one. Daniel Boone created a legend with one. Abraham Lincoln shot them on the White House lawn. And Teddy Roosevelt had his specially customized. In this first-of-its-kind book, historian Alexander Rose delivers a colorful, engrossing biography of an American icon: the rifle. Drawing on the words of foot soldiers, inventors, and presidents, based on extensive new research, and spanning from the Revolution to the present day, American Rifle is a balanced, wonderfully entertaining history of the rifle and its place in American culture.

Book Description
In Great Hunting Rifles, firearms expert Terry Wieland leads the reader on a journey through the history of some of the most exquisite rifles made in the twentieth century. The rifles featured in the book, all personally owned by the author and described in loving detail, were chosen for their particular importance. Each rifle either represents a particular era of gun making, is historically important, or is simply a paragon of gun making skill. In his treatment of these special rifles, Wieland provides a close look at some individual guns that are superb in a unique way, and which illustrate high points of the twentieth century. Each chapter is dedicated to one particular rifle, and is accompanied by photographs of the author's own examples, including: James Woodward hammer double .450 Express 3 1/4" Holland & Holland hammer .500 Express 3 1/4" Haenel-Mannlicher bolt action .450 Ackley custom rifle Mannlicher-Schoenauer Model 1908 Savage Model 1899 Al Biesen custom .270 Winchester .505 Gibbs custom built on a Granite Mountain Mauser 98 And many more! Great Hunting Rifles is perfect for anyone who wants to know more about the history of those few, special rifles that have made their mark on time.

Book Description
Excerpt from Trajectories of American Hunting Rifles: A Series of Tests, Made by the "Forest and Stream," at the Creedmoor Range, Sept; 26 Oct; 19, 1885 The general plan was a very simple one. It was first to call in a competent surveyor and have a range laid out, then to place the actual manipulation of the trials in the hands of an expert who should make a report of the actual figures obtained by him. In this way we hoped to put the result obtained beyond all question of doubt or uncertainty. The details of the trial were many and required much time and labor. We invited suggestions as to the carrying out of the tests, and the vast correspondence which at once Sprung up showed how much interest was felt in the work. Some of these letters, as far as space permitted, were spread before our readers, but many more were not put in type. Some of the hints given were valuable, others were evidently given under a misapprehension as to what a trajectory test really was and what it was that we were striving to discover.
