OLD GUNS AND WHISPERING GHOSTS by Jesse L. "Wolf" Hardin
Tales and twists of the Old West
OLD GUNS AND WHISPERING GHOSTS brings to life the history, spirit, character, and contradictions of the Old West....in the process of recounting the dramatic stories if its most legendary firearms. Author Jesse "Wolf" Hardin entices us into the fascinating world of shooters and drovers, defiant American Indians, and backwoods hunters. The dramatic photographs, frontier tintypes, and inspiring text powerfully describe the period of rapid change occurring between 1866 and 1916, from the close of the Civil War until what he considers to be " the last organized Indian raid", Pancho Villa’s border attack on Columbus.... an affair which improbably pitted motorized cavalry and machine guns against galloping horsemen and lever-action Winchesters. 8 1/2" x 11" hardcover. 267 pages
