Fortune and Fear: Samuel Colt’s Revolver and Cyclical Violence
A bloodbath spins across a sprawling field on the engraved barrels of the .44 bore Walker, .31-caliber Pocket Revolver and .44 Dragoon model Colt revolvers. Rendered in their military finest by Waterman L. Ormsby (Samuel Colts frequent artistic collaborator) a squadron of Euro-American dragoons are mid-charge with smoking revolvers in hand, taking aim at their Comanche adversaries.
