Arming America
Michael A Bellesiles
The author of Revolutionary Outlaws traces the evolution of America's gun culture to the mid-nineteenth-century age of industrialization, arguing that the surge in gun manufacturing during the Civil War and the decision to allow soldiers to keep their weapons after the war transformed the gun from seldom-used tool to perceived necessity. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.
