New York, NY: Ridge Press Book/Golden Press, 1962. 1st Ed. Edge wear, several sm white spots on front cover, overall content excellent. Hardbound. 4to. 66 Pgs.. VG. The Treasury of The Gun by Harold L Peterson. Published by Ridge Press Book/Golden Press, New York, NY, 1962. 1st Edition. No DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: VG. Edge wear, several sm white spots on front cover, overall content excellent. 252 Pgs. LCCN 62-15426. Special photography by Arie deZanger. This book is an effort to trace the story from the discovery of gunpowder to the late 19th century, when the appearance of smokeless powder began a new era of firearms history. Rather than a technical history, the author relates the achievements to history and, above all, to people, and to indicate some of the excitement, the humor, and the curious lore that is as much a part of the subject as the improvement of a lock mechanism.
