How I Became a Crack Shot, with Hints to Beginners

204 pp. Deep green cloth boards with gilt titles on spine. The memoirs of a competitive shooter, who also founded the Farrow Fire-Arms Company. EXCERPT: "I was born at Belfast, Waldo County, in the State of Maine. My father was a native of Bristol in the same State, and served his country during the war of 1812. It was his misfortune to be for a time confined in the prison at Halifax. My grandfather was a sergeant in one of the companies during the war of the Revolution, and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis. Descended from such stock my claim to be a thorough American is certainly a valid one."
