Arthur Corbin Gould

Arthur Corbin Gould (1850–1903) was an avid shooter and member of the Massachusetts Rifle Association. He published "The Rifle" [Riling 1160] in 1885. "The Rifle" was the forerunner to the official publication of the National Rifle Association "The Rifleman", later "American Rifleman". Mr. Gould later authored "The Modern American Pistol and Revolver, including a description of modern pistols and revolvers of American make; ammunition used in these arms; results accomplished; and shooting rules followed by American marksmen" as well as "Modern American Rifles". The former was the first English-language book devoted to pistol shooting.
