Guns of the Gunfighters, Lawmen, Outlaws & Hollywood Cowboys

Guns of the Gunfighters, Lawmen, Outlaws & Hollywood Cowboys by O'Meara, Doc. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780873494335.

The romance of the Old West remains strong, even more than a century after the heyday of cowboys and gunfighters. This all-new title explores the romance of that bygone era, focusing on the guns that the legends of the West—good guys and bad guys, real and fictional characters—carried with them. Profiles of more than 50 gunslingers, half from the Old West and half from Hollywood, include a brief biography of each gunfighter, along with the guns they carried. Fascinating stories about the TV and movie celebrities of the 1950s and 1960s detail their guns and the skill—or lack thereof—they displayed. Stunning color photos depict each firearm in glorious detail. These guns range from custom-crafted high-end arms to non-functioning gimmicky props. • Firearms carried by more than 50 real and fictional characters of the Old West • Emphasis on the TV and movie stars of the 1950s and 1960s • Modern and historic photos show each of the firearms
