Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America
Colt’s powerful personality drives the narrative, showing his brilliant showmanship, family connections, occasional legerdemain, and aggressive political lobbying to force his business dream into a commercial success. No hagiography, this work is as much a non-judgmental history of the development of American gun culture as it is of Samuel Colt himself.
PREMIUM
Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America’s Stolen Land
