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.Author: Alexander RoseISBN-10: 0553384384ISBN-13: 9780553384383Publisher: Random House Publishing GroupLanguage: EnglishPublished: 09/29/2009Pages: 528Format: PaperbackWeight: 1.19lbsSize: 9.00h x 6.02w x 1.15d
