Volume IV continues to report, editorialize, and speculate on Marine Corps Scout Sniping. We write for snipers and those interested in the art. Much of what we write about is not considered politically correct. We could not care less. Sniping, it sometimes seems, is supposed to be efficiently carried out, but no one is supposed to publicly mention or notice the dangerous and demanding duty. The Scout Sniper really is an enemy's worst nightmare. Not only do Scout Snipers discover secrets, they kill important people. 
If our words are insensitive, so be it. 
The Scout Sniper is the Marine Corps' most potent and cost-effective weapon. Until the Corps is willing to stand up and recognize that effectiveness and the Scout Snipers' essentiality, the snipers role will continue to be misunderstood, mismanaged, and downgraded.

Death From Afar Vol. IV

A personal and satisfying Alaskan hunting book. Hunters hoping to, or dreaming of, hunting the "Great Land" will discover, probably for the first time, exactly how it is done, how it feels, and what they can hope for if they make it into the Alaskan wilderness. Written by a hunter whose Alaskan travels span half a century - an author/hunter who does not pull punches or gloss over, a writer who has been there and has done all that he describes. Included are more than 190 photographs, taken over decades, that prove the writing real and the experiences powerful.

Memoirs

Those who have read or reviewed Arrowmaker claim the story is better than even the frontier classics "Drums Along the Mohawk" and. "The Last of the Mohicans." We, the publishers agree. There has never been such a fulfilling tale of the colonial frontier. Arrowmaker leaves a reader satisfied. Things come out the way they should, and in these days of confused and irresolute writing that alone is gratifying. 
Arrowmaker is filled with exploring, building and fighting. The story is based on facts including actual incidents that occurred in the areas depicted. If a reader chose, he could go to the land described and walk the ground while recognizing the physical features written about. 
Arrowmaker is replete with the danger and violence of the times, but the warring is believable and much of it really happened. 
Readers develop a unique empathy with the frontiersman, Rob Shatto, and when finished each reader will have gained a new friend that he will cherish as if Rob's great wilderness home had been just down the road. In this volume you will meet frontiersmen and Indians who reappear in succeeding books of this frontier series, but you must read Arrowmaker first. It is the soul-the heart-of all that comes after, and believe us, you will wait with impatience the coming of the next book and each thereafter. We know it is so because we (including the author) have experienced it. The adventure is heady, and we highly recommend it.

Arrowmaker

This volume honors military and police snipers. We also include individuals who we believe are meaningful to the sniper community-The Brotherhood. 
The One Shot Brotherhood is replete with photographs of snipers and those affiliates of sniping centers, tech-reps, and designer/producers. 
Although there is weaponry herein, this is not a firearms book. It is our wish to show as many snipers as we can muster, to let their names and faces become known, and to laud their accomplishments. In some countries snipers must remain in the shadows because their populaces misunderstand the sniper mission. Not in the United States

History

Chandler

Military

The Pennsylvania frontier of 1754 could seem too deadly to endure. War parties swept from the protection of mountain strongholds to kill and destroy the white settlers invading their forests. Driven from their traditional homelands, Shawnee and Delaware bands trotted east along ancient warrior paths seeking vengeance. To the north, the Six Nations of Iroquois Confederacy possessed the might to drive all whites into the sea. Lured by land ownership, Jack Elan moved his small family west of the great Susquehanna River and beyond civilization’s comforting safety to wrench a living from the virgin forests and meadows of the Allegheny foothills. Toquisson, of the Shawnee, known as the Heart-Eater, also hunted the rich game lands. His discovery of Elan’s cabin nestled against Concocheague Mountain began a year long struggle to the death. The Black Rifle speaks of Jack Elan’s soul-devouring efforts to become a frontier killer capable of battling a Shawnee warrior, and of Elan’s search for a very special rifle to bring him final victory. Elan must harden his heart and his body. He must learn to shoot and scout beyond skills he had ever imagined. Then, tempered by the fires of massacre and blinding hatred, he must face in battle the savage enemy who had destroyed all that Elan had valued. Mentored by Rob Shatto, the unmatchable frontiersman who was raised among the Delaware and Blue Moccasin, the most renowned of all message carriers, Elan carries his fight to his enemy. Long out of print, these novels have become impossible to locate. It is Iron Brigade Publishing’s intent to reprint and make available all those soul-gripping stories. Arrowmaker, reprinted in 2000 was the first; The Black Rifle is the second.

The Black Rifle

Athough unrecognized by most historians, there is no more valiant tale with Pennsylvania's frontier lore than the raising and defending of Fort Robinson by the families of that name. For ten savage years, hostile Delaware and Shawnee warriors sought to overwhelm the wilderness stockade and drive all settlers from the Endless Hills of the Allegheny Mountains. No British regulars or even hastily gathered militias defended the log walls of Robinson's fort. The Robinson clan built and defended their wilderness stockade. Fire arrows flew and muskets thundered. Men and women were killed there, and others were carried into brutal captivity. Starvation and massacre threatened. Cabins burned and fields were torched. Other fled across the eastern mountains, but the Robinsons held. They fought until they won. This is their story.
