{"product_id":"famous-firearms-of-the-old-west","title":"Famous Firearms of the Old West","description":"From Buffalo Bill to Wild Bill and from Chief Joseph to Geronimo, the most famous guns in the West and the history behind them More than a few of the actual guns once in the hands of the heroes and villains of America's Old West still exist, housed in a dozen museums across the country—from the Model 1866 .44-40 that Chief Joseph famously surrendered to General Miles to Wild Bill Hickok's Colt Model 1851 revolvers; from Buffalo Bill's .50 caliber breechloading needlegun nicknamed \"Lucrezia Borgia\" to John Wesley Hardin's 1860 model .44 SA revolvers.  Famous Firearms of the Old West follows the life stories of a dozen actual pistols, rifles, and shotguns instrumental in shaping America's history—using them as entrées into the lives of the shooters themselves. This is a vivid portrait of famous Western characters, paired with the guns they used to make themselves famous or, as the case may be, infamous. It is a must for anyone interested in the history and lore of the Wild West, gun hobbyists, and tourists seeking a museum experience with a difference.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252545278296,"sku":"9780762773497","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780762773497.jpg?v=1760218245","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/famous-firearms-of-the-old-west","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
