Book Description
The History of Remington Firearms is a captivating and wonderful illustrated chronicle of one of the most famous and legendary names in history. Remington is synonymous with the history of the United States, from the Civil War, the two world wars, and every skirmish in between, to outlaws beyond the pale and the law enforcement officers hired to catch them. The name Remington is equally synonymous with hunting, from casual afternoons plinking by a pond, to deer hunting in Pennsylvania, to elk and antelope hunting in the West. Through Remington's commitment to quality and innovation the company has produced many breakthroughs that profoundly influenced America's industrial development, including the production of the world's first effective typrewriter, innovations in smokeless poweder ballistics, powdered metal technology and fine products for sportsmen, target shooters and hunters for nearly two hundred years. Separate sections in this volume cover all of the company's output, including Pistols and Revolvers, Rifles and Carbines, and Shotguns. The range of firearms discussed spans everything from Rider's diminutive parlor pistol, which relied on a percussion cap to propel its diminutive .17 projectile, to the mighty .30 caliber Browning Machine Gun of 1917 which had a firepower capability of 600 rounds per minute. Many interesting historical pictures and company posters complete the story.

Book Description
""This short history has been compiled mainly from the War Diaries. My reason for undertaking the task is that there was no one else to do it, the units composing the Division being scattered far and wide, and there being no Divisional habitat with local historians as in the case of Territorial and New Army Divisions. My object is that all who served with the Division for any period between 1914-1919 may have a record to show that they belonged to a Division which played no inconspicuous part in the Great War."" This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

Book Description
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
