General Note: Part of the educational view collection. VHS. From the Civil War to the end of the 1800's, new gun technology brought breakthroughs that helped open up the American West and tame a wild land. It wasn't just gunfighters and soldiers, but ranchers, American Indians, shopkeepers and farmers who relied on their pistols, rifles and shotguns to keep them safe. This is the story of the men and women who made the history of the West and the story of the guns that they used. No accession number.
