Great picture! Henry ladder sight and all.

very Kewl pic. The history of it makes me think of the utility of the rifle, the dog and how much a part of his life it must have been to have posed for the picture in a time where money might have been hard to come by. He certainly seems proud of the rifle and I wonder if he passed it on after years of use and some great great great grandson is using it today. thanks for the post

Great photo! As Mike said, makes one appreciate how much a part of their lives that levergun was, for them to make it so prominent in a not usual (picture taking) event.

Thanks for sharing.

Neat pic, thanks Hobie. What do you figure the other fellow is carrying... Single shot shotgun of some sort?

Not carrying his levergun, but this is a picture of my Great Grampa wearing his then-new Colt .45 SAA. Picture taken at his summer camp near the Powder River in Wyoming, circa 1902. he usually wintered near the Brazos, supplementing his income playing a fiddle in a saloon/whorehouse in what is now Graham, Texas.

Okay, so it's all BS. Sue me.

I like those old pictures too. And Jeff you were not going to get away with the Bovine Scatology. It is hard to hide your trademark twin braid beard brother!
