Chama Press announces the publication of
ARTISTRY IN SINGLE ACTION
Written by Halton Henderson
Designed by David Holman
Foreword by J. Evetts Haley
Printed by Wind River Press
This first publication of Chama Press recounts an
intriguing bit of Texas history - the story of the
first sixgun made in Texas since the Civil War and
the fascinating story of the eccentric genius who
produced what many authorities consider some of
the most beautifully designed handguns ever made."... it is destined to become
a rare item and should be
in every Texas collector's
library."

Artistry in Single Action also relates the colorful
history of the handgun and the Lone Star State's
long-term love affair with it. It briefly covers such
colorful sagas as the volatile career of Samuel Colt
and his famous Walker Colt (the Texas Ranger's
gun) and the equally famous Peacemaker.
J. Evetts Haley, one of the Southwest's most beloved
authors and historians, provides an engrossing
foreword.
