Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Where We Used to Fish
A ri?e, out of place though it may seem in a fish story, must serve for the reader's introduction to the Bloomer Hole, as it did for mine. Of the percussion lock style, with long octagon barrel and brass butt plate with scroll-like ends, it had a stock so highly figured that no name but Circassian walnut would be deemed to do it justice in present trade parlance. A cow's horn held the powder and the bullets were patched in rawhide. I have the powder-measure and bullet-mold now and wish mightily I had the whole outfit.
