Gun Notes

Pages : 0
Book Description
From 1961 till the early 1980s Elmer Keith was a regular contributor to Guns & Ammo magazine, with a monthly column entitled "Gun Notes." Here are the most interesting writings from his long writing career at Guns & Ammo magazine. This book is entirely devoted to pistols, revolvers, bolt-action and double rifles, shotguns, ammunition, loads, bullets, and accessories. Keith was one of the country's most knowledgeable experts on big-bore calibers, and this book has a wealth of information based on his lifelong experience with just about every imaginable sporting arm. In addition, the book contains letters from Elmer Keith to Truman Fowler, who was the publisher of Keith's Safari book; it also contains the correspondence from Fowler (a well-known big-bore advocate) to Jack O'Connor, who took exception to much of what Keith and Fowler recommended. This is more than highly entertaining reading -- the pages of the correspondence literally sizzle under your fingertips! Gun Notes is illustrated with photos from the Guns & Ammo files. Keith wrote ten books, in all, on hunting and firearms and was an absolute believer in big-bore rifles with heavy bullets. Over this issue, he and Jack O'Connor, another well-known sports writer and contemporary of Keith's, had a bitter running feud for years. Keith was also instrumental in the development of the .44 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and .338 Magnum cartridges as well as numerous other firearm and ballistic innovations. He was one of America's best shots with rifle, handgun, and shotgun. Keith was, perhaps, best known for his articles that appeared in numerous magazines from before World War II until the early 1980s. Book jacket.

Rifles for Watie
Author: Harold KeithPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 006447030X
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Jeff Bussey walked briskly up the rutted wagon road toward Fort Leavenworth on his way to join the Union volunteers. It was 1861 in Linn County, Kansas, and Jeff was elated at the prospect of fighting for the North at last. In the Indian country south of Kansas there was dread in the air; and the name, Stand Watie, was on every tongue. A hero to the rebel, a devil to the Union man, Stand Watie led the Cherokee Indian Na-tion fearlessly and successfully on savage raids behind the Union lines. Jeff came to know the Watie men only too well. He was probably the only soldier in the West to see the Civil War from both sides and live to tell about it. Amid the roar of cannon and the swish of flying grape, Jeff learned what it meant to fight in battle. He learned how it felt never to have enough to eat, to forage for his food or starve. He saw the green fields of Kansas and Okla-homa laid waste by Watie's raiding parties, homes gutted, precious corn deliberately uprooted. He marched endlessly across parched, hot land, through mud and slash-ing rain, always hungry, always dirty and dog-tired. And, Jeff, plain-spoken and honest, made friends and enemies. The friends were strong men like Noah Babbitt, the itinerant printer who once walked from Topeka to Galveston to see the magnolias in bloom; boys like Jimmy Lear, too young to carry a gun but old enough to give up his life at Cane Hill; ugly, big-eared Heifer, who made the best sourdough biscuits in the Choctaw country; and beautiful Lucy Washbourne, rebel to the marrow and proud of it. The enemies were men of an-other breed - hard-bitten Captain Clardy for one, a cruel officer with hatred for Jeff in his eyes and a dark secret on his soul. This is a rich and sweeping novel-rich in its panorama of history; in its details so clear that the reader never doubts for a moment that he is there; in its dozens of different people, each one fully realized and wholly recognizable. It is a story of a lesser -- known part of the Civil War, the Western campaign, a part different in its issues and its problems, and fought with a different savagery. Inexorably it moves to a dramat-ic climax, evoking a brilliant picture of a war and the men of both sides who fought in it.
