Some staining and soiling to a few letters but a very good lot of more than 100 pieces of correspondence relating to the publication of an important American firearms book perhaps the basis for another book or paper exploring the creation of the first. 2931. A revealing correspondence between publisher and author discussing in minute detail the evolution of a book from an initial manuscript rejected out of hand through negotiation over content design and other details to the editing and publishing of an important title covering a seminal aspect of the American arms industry.<br/>Edwards 9 March 1952: "Colt has been a forgotten man in American history. Professor Morse has been published a dozen times while Polk Zach Taylor Old Hickory Sam Houston Whistler and all the dozens of men that moulded mid-nineteenth century America from the dry dust of the West and the blood-wet mud of Manassas have found their chroniclers often. It is in an effort to show in some measure just where Samuel Colt fits in this scene this burnt-oil hum of the late Industrial Revolution and the real West more wild than any movie that I am doing this work. To place him in context among the guns that were his life-work and to give him again a spirit of reality that once he had as alive is my purpose and design."<br/>Stackpole 18 March 1852: "We believe that the technical and detailed part of the Colt Revolver should be accented with the biographical material secondary. We should like to see the details and particulars of the many early Colt revolvers to settle in the minds of collectors just what is what and why. We feel that this sort of technical work would also sell to the average shooter who of course greatly exceed collectors in numbers."<br/>The ensuing letters chronicle the debate between author and publisher author and editor and author and publisher's employees as they refined each others needs discussing in detail every facet of the book's content design production and marketing eventually producing a work of lasting value still regarded as the best book on the subject. <br/><br/> unknown books
