Peterson (1922-1978) wrote nineteen books in the historical firearms field, was an arms and armor adviser and consultant to national and international museums, a Fellow of the Company of Military Historians, and a winner of the U.S. Department of the Interior Distinguished Service medal for outstanding contributions in historical research and museum planning. In 1963, he was appointed the Chief Curator of the U.S. National Park Service and all of the national historic sites, a post he held until his death in 1978.
