This is a new, unopened copy in virtually perfect condition. AS NEW. Philip B. Sharpe's Rifle in America, first published in 1938, "is the most competent general coverage on the American rifle." Thanks in part to that definitive nature, along with the fact that the book was a beautifully produced one and a vital reference source, the volume is recognized as an essential acquisition for anyone interested in the crucial role rifles have played in the unfolding panorama of America's manifest destiny. As historians have long proclaimed and as Sharpe realized, the rifle was a key element in, America's western-oriented expansion which ultimately saw her people embrace and settle the heartland from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In other words, to delve into the pages of The Rifle in America is to be transported to the essence of our country's past. . Special Edition. Full-Leather. As New/No Dust Jacket. 4to (8.5 x 10.75").
