Book Synopsis
With more than 200 images - almost all in colour - A Legacy in Arms not only documents the inspiration and innovation of arms makers from individual artisans to mass producers, but also describes the development of decorative expression in the gun maker's art.

Trade Review
A good deal more than a nicely illustrated book about guns in American history, A Legacy in Arms perceptively integrates the technical and aesthetic dimensions of the subject and offers a compelling synthesis that will be of great interest to general readers, devoted collectors, and serious scholars."" - Merritt Roe Smith, author of Harpers Ferry Armory and the New Technology: The Challenge of Change
