LETTERS FROM ELMER KEITH
A Half Century of Advice on Guns, Ammo, Handloading, Hunting, and Other Pursuits

Mine showed up yesterday, worth it just for the first couple of letters about selling a Sharps rifle in 1924 ... for $25.

Thanks!
Elmer's new book just flew to the top of my "must have" list.

Does anyone here have/or has read Keith's book "Big Game Hunting"? If so tell me whether you think it's worth tracking down, Thanks!

I have it. I got a copy for 35 bucks or so. Really lets you in how much of a outdoorsman The Grand Old Man was! Great book IMO.

Did Tim edit the letters or just copy them directly to the page? I ask because Elmer's two letters to me were rough as a cob with typos, etc. He just banged them out. Looked like Terry's posts except he tried to use caps correctly. :wink: :lol:

Great reading! Buy it if you can. Also some amazing books of the great old man; "Sixguns", "Hell, I was there", "Gun Notes I and II" and "Safari".

Big Game Hunting----$85.00 I bet Ol' Elmer would have been pretty happy if the book had brought that when he was alive, I read "Hell, I Was There" quite a few years ago, very enjoyable.

The first few letters are hand written, the rest seem to be copied "as typed" by Keith.

Thanks. I think the actual letters give more flavor than simply transcribing the information. I don't know why I asked, I've already ordered a copy! :roll: :lol: And heck, I get every ORIGINAL Keith book I can.
