"Hell, I was there!"

Elmer Keith is known as a gun expert and wrote books and articles (including for "Guns & Ammo") for over 50 years. This revised version of the original book (1979?) differs significantly. (1) This edition is an original unedited tapes version dictated by Elmer Keith in his Salmon Idaho home during long winter evenings in late 1972. It is more like a casual conversation with a saltiness and Keiths colloquialisms. It represents the true language of the West and his life seeps through using the style that is true to the West. (2) There are over 30 000 more words than previous edition and many more photographs. Mr. Keith has been a cowboy soldier hunter rancher guide author and is one of the Worlds leading expert on sporting firearms. He played a part in the .41 and .44 magnum creation with the military. He was the recipient of the first Outstanding Handgunner of the Year Award and was Executive Editior of "Guns & Ammo" Magazine. This book is a sure thing for people who love the West as it was through the eyes of someone who lived it as well as for sportsmen and gun lovers everywhere.
