In 1929, in a hotel lobby in Claremore, Oklahoma, a transplanted
Arkansas sawmill owner named J.M. Davis decided to put his
collection of 99 firearms on display. Since then, Claremore's J.M. Davis
Arms and Historical Museum has become an internationally known
tourist attraction. Thousands of visitors per year marvel at exhibits
featuring statuary, knives, swords, saddles, Native American artifacts,
political buttons, World War I posters, and many other items--all
in addition to the most extensive private collection of guns on
display in the world. Through words and pictures, this book tells the
behind-the-scenes story of the museum and John Monroe Davis--the
man, his times, and his amazing acquisitions.
