The gun and the Gospel; (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019600986)

This book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between religion and violence in the American West.

Drawing on extensive archival research and first-hand accounts, Fisher provides a compelling analysis of a fascinating and often overlooked chapter in American history.
