HELL, I WAS THERE!
Elmer Kieth's life story. You won't regret buying this one.

Yes, it is a good book.

I read it when I was a young guy. At the time, I believed that a 243Win. could do everything. Even after I read Elmer's book. Still, it is a favorite book. Would have liked to have met the man.

One of my most cherished books is an autographed and inscribed copy of Keith's "Sixguns". Wish I could have met him too. Apparently he welcomed all shooter visitors into his home in Salmon.

I read the book. Hard to belive all Elmer did really happoned! I did meet him at RCBS back on Apr 14,1975. He's not as tall as the book leads you to beleve.

Ah yes! SIXGUNS by Keith!

I "cut my teeth" in handgunning reading that book. Still think that was one of the best possible things I could have been resourcing at that time.

Really gives ya a feel for the good/bad Old Daze. Gives you a good idea about what a person should expect to be able to do with the wheelgun.

Good book indeed. I can't decide if Elmer really was there or if he deserves the grammy of the year. Either way it is worth reading.
