Shameless but I’d love to hear some thoughts on that rifle.
It’s public knowledge so I hope this isn’t some transgression.
Henry "Sam" Colvin
moved from SW Pennsylvania in the
1850s crossed the great plains and
settled in Oregon. Sam's occupation was
"Hunter" and in 1857 he contracted with
the local sawmill to provide 4 hind
quarters of elk per week to be supplied
to the camp cook. Sam bought 12 acres
in Curry County, Oregon for $120 in
1865 ($120 in 1865 is worth $2200
today). This picture was taken around
1910 when Sam was about 80 years old.
Hunting is History!
