Guess the Book

I saw something in the library at school today that caught my eye, and I had to check it out. I was giving a history test back in the biography section when it jumped out at me.
"I must have it!" I thought. "Neither of my readers will believe I found it in the library of a public middle school in Illinois."

I'm going to make you guess first, but I'm betting nobody will know it. Two hints:

1. You don't have to guess the title, just the name of the person. You've all heard of the person in question.

2. Chapter Three: Gunshop or School? (We all know the right answer, don't we?)


I'll send a little something--a very little something--to the winner, defined as the first person to post the correct first and last name of the person featured in this biography. This ain't The Price Is Right.

  1. St. John Moses Browning would be my guess, too, as most likely to have a kids biography from a generation or two ago in a school library.

  2. The only thing I can come up with is like everyone else:
    American Gunmaker:The John M. Browning Story. Has to be.

  3. I'd just like to point out that Google has exactly one response to the inquiry "gunshop or school?", and it's you, babe.

  4. I'll go out on a limb and say Jerry Kuhnhausen and probably one of his shop manuals.

  5. HA! You all LOSE!

    Except Joe Allen, who wins.

    And including me, since I more or less lost when Joe won. Like 15 minutes into the contest. On the first guess.

    You know what? Shut up. I don't need your attitude.
