Writings (documents)

In a letter to Horace Kephart on February 7, 1919, William L. Powers asks questions about Kephart’s “backwoods rifle” paper. Mr. Powers wishes to know more information about Mr. Pope, the type of rifle he shot, and the shooting technique he used. He wonders how Buffalo Bill shot glass balls on horseback. Powers also hopes Kephart will write an article for “Outing” about the Allegheny mountaineer who rifled a gun with his own wooden machine to improve bullet trajectory.
