The March Madness Mad Hatter hat sale is just a day away from being in the books. The antique gun (and a few modern weapons, some special gun books and accessories) is taking shape. It will start April 2 (so as not to be confused with The Buffalo Wool Company April 1st annual extravaganza). Be sure you are signed up for both our and their and our email list so you don't miss out on the opening "gun". And, yes, I am away from the store so shipping will start again April 4th.
Hat sale is winding down; Antique Gun (with a few modern firearms ) and similar stuff starts April 2. New guns added (almost) daily. Liquidation pricing!

BOOKS - American Bisons, Living and Extinct J. A. Allen

$65.00

1876.  This is a very nicely leather-bound reprint of Volume IV, Number 10 of the "Memoirs of the Museum of Comparative Zoology", Harvard University", and as you can see from the "Introduction" deals with the then prevailing beliefs on both pre-historic and then living bison in the United States.

Keep in mind this is at a time just before the "great slaughter .. just about 5 years before it really started ... but there is still enough discussion about hide hunters and wanton destruction to have made this timely both then and now.  Well documented; with some excellent graphs/charts/schedules.

There are cheaper versions reprinted, but having this little leather bound version to me added just a touch of permanency to the volume.  Enjoy, as I did ... (and it does make a great little gift) .
