This is the story of a mechanical genius whose rifles and cartridges were the equal of any made in America in the 1880s, yet little of substance has been written about James H. Bullard or his arms prior to 1988. This volume contains over 1,000 black and white and 150 color plates and answers many questions. Divided into eleven chapters dedicated to the Bullard story. This book is a must for collectors, historians and dealers alike.
