True West considers these the most significant workhorses of the frontier.
Produced in St. Louis, Missouri, by the Hawken family, these heavy, large-bored, full- and half-stock muzzleloaders were designed for shooting dangerous Western game. More rugged than the earlier Pennsylvania rifles, the Hawkens were considered the best of the plains rifles. Hawken customers included mountain men Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, Mariano Modena and Jedediah Smith, among others.

“The Gun That Won the West!” “Which gun was that?” you may ask, but, as any serious arms enthusiast would tell you, regardless of advertising or promotional rhetoric, no single firearm tamed the American frontier by itself.

It’s hardly surprising that there is a religious market for toys. What better way to reinforce the message of a certain faith than by incorporating it into the world of children?
I’m talking about the religious themes in many Lego sets, the tiny snap-together plastic bricks that are the bane of every barefoot person trying to find the bathroom in the dark.
But, like most toys originally intended for youngsters, Legos have a large adult market as well.
Note: I don’t mean porn. There are porn Legos, but no way am I going into that here.
