I recently acquired a copy of Barry Storm's Practical Pistoleering; A Manual of Practical Revolver Shooting Techniques (1943).
The Preface states the publisher asked Mr. Storm to write this - and then says very nice things about him. Of course, he was the Southwestern Press.
A previous owner inserted an article on "Signs of Treasure" from the July 1945 issue of Adventure Magazine. Like almost every other pamphlet, book chapter or magazine article on this subject, it's taken directly from Prof. J. Frank Dobie's classic Coronado's Children.
I'm very glad to have a copy of this little work. it is the first one I've seen offered for sale in decades. I don't think it has a lot of useful information, however. This "technique" by the author appears to be a good way to shoot yourself in the gut. Or the foot.
Good luck to all,
The Old Bookaroo
