Horace Smith and Daniel Baird Wesson shared a dream of manufacturing a firearm that could fire repeatedly, using a new and self-contained cartridge. In 1852, the dream became a reality with the founding of Smith & Wesson Firearms Company. Over the next 154 years, the company grew to be one of the most innovative and respected firearms manufacturers in the world. The story of Smith & Wesson is not only about two knowledgeable and enterprising men but also the story of generations of creative and dedicated men and women. The spirit of innovation generated by the partners has long outlived them. Today Smith & Wesson is synonymous with quality, performance, and durability. Smith & Wesson explores the company history, its people, and significant products from the partners' first venture in 1852 to the sale of the Wesson family business in 1965. This book features rarely seen historical photographs, advertisements, and company documents culled from the company archives, museums collections, and the private collections of Smith & Wesson collectors.

Smith ha elaborato un modo di prevedere il tempo basandosi sui ricordi della gente, e per il grande evento di domani – 21 giugno 1902 – ha inventato tutto il necessario. Wesson conosce il fiume meglio di chiunque altro, forse meglio anche di suo padre. Rachel Green, ventitré anni, giornalista, sarà la prima al mondo a lanciarsi nelle cascate del Niagara, e a uscirne viva. Un testo teatrale, un botta e risposta forsennato, un giro di carillon per uscirne più vivi di prima.
