Browning was born in Ogden, Utah, in 1855, into a world of gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, John spent hours in his father's shop and allegedly knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. It's hardly surprising that at age twenty-three, he was filing his first patent for the \"J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Browning inherited his father's gun making shop, and with funds of less than a thousand dollars, developed it into a highly successful business that developed several iconic firearms including the Colt Peacemaker. Browning also cooperated with Winchester to develop a whole range of small arms including semi-automatic pistols, single-shot rifles, repeater rifles, and machine guns. His enthusiasm and creativity have led many to believe he is the greatest firearm designer of all time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This fascinating book describes the Browning history, and in addition to covering the full range of inventions and designs, also shows various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers' drawings, and interesting photographs of the weapons in the hands of users. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe History of Browning Firearms\u003c\/i\u003e makes a perfect addition to the libraries of Wild West buffs and firearms enthusiasts.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Miller \u003c\/b\u003eis a former senior officer in the British armed forces, who served in the Falklands, Germany, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
