Book summaryAn historian argues against the cherished notion that the private ownership of guns was a widespread, long-standing tradition in America. Rather, he argues, it was a result of the Civil War and changes in technology. A 2000 New York Times Notable Book. Media reviews"Bellesiles has dispersed the darkness that covered the gun's early history in America. He provides overwhelming evidence that our view of the gun is as deep a superstition as any that affected Native Americans in the 17th century." |
