Russells For Men

Once advertised as the most effective weapon in the world, the Henry Rifle was described thus: "…a resolute man, armed with one of these Rifles, particularly if on horseback, CANNOT BE CAPTURED". The Historic Henry Rifle tells the story of how the rifle was tested and proven during the Civil War and explains its place in history as it became the forerunner of the Winchester Repeating Rifles that won the west. The Henry Rifle dramatically changed the nature of combat, making it the most important firearm of its era. Details about early sales to the government, estimated Henry production by serial number, and a partial listing of historically identified Henry rifles are included in the book. A must read. Softcover. 10" x 7". Includes numerous B/W photos and illustrations, along with 8 pages of current color photography. 103 pages.
