Summary: The history, culture, and mythology of guns in America
Review: In Written With Lead: America's Most Famous And Notorious Gunfights From The Revolutionary War To Today, author William Weir showcases twenty-one violent episodes in American history which involved the use of firearms, heroes, and gunfighters from all walks of life. From the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of Al Capone's Chicago; to the bloody ambush of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde; to the Siege at Waco, the massacre at Columbine, and the D.C. sniper, Written With Lead is an unusually revealing, rather unique, thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the history, culture, and mythology of guns in America.
