Summary

From colonial-era rifles carried on the "Owlhoot Trail", to John Dillinger's Colt pistols, the history of the American outlaw is told in guns--weapons that became each man's personal signature.

Guns of Outlaws peer into these criminals' choices of derringers, revolvers, shotguns, rifles, machine guns, and curious hybrids, giving you a glimpse into the minds behind the trigger fingers. With over 200 illustrations, you’ll get a unique look at the lives and the hardware of the most infamous outlaws in American history, and of the law enforcement officers who hunted them.
