Browning was born in Ogden  Utah  in 1855  into a world of gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy  John spent hours in his fathers shop and allegedly knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. Hardly surprising that at age twenty-three  he was filing his first patent for the \"J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle.\"  He inherited his fathers business  and with funds of less than a thousand dollars turned it into a thriving gun-making workshop with seven employees. One of Brownings guns was chanced upon by a representative of Winchester  who admired the design so well that the Winchester managing director made the six-day journey to Utah to conclude several lucrative commercial deals that would endure for the next few years. Brownings designs for Colt and the manufacture of many familiar Colt guns also helped boost his companys reputation as a premier gun-maker.  Complete with more than 250 full-color photographs of the guns  this stunning book describes the Browning history  and covers its full range of inventions and designs  from frontier weapons such as the Colt Peacemaker to military arms  shotguns  and hunting rifles.
