Outstanding find, Drew..! What a great read! My thanks! Also - I tried to find the "buy this issue" from the various links - but didn't find one? Am I missing them? If so - please post back a link to buy this book/reprint - OK?

Drew - my thank!

John: it was digitized from the collection at the University of Michigan and unfortunately is not available for purchase.
Google Books is a wonderful resource, and more great stuff is getting scanned and digitized daily.

Ahhh... Now - if only my great grandfather had kept his issues.. ;) In any event - my sincerest thanks!!

On an off-topic - it really is amazing to find scanned articles from so long ago. I sincerely hope they are preserved for many generations to come. It is - or should be - what this "Digital" world should be about.. Preserving history for those who have yet to make history of their own.. At least in my world..

My thanks again, Drew!

I scanned an original 1898 Outdoor Life that a friend had. It was/is in near mint condition. I have it on my computer as a 24mb PDFfile and would gladly share it if we could figure out a way to do it. It even has an article about hunting moose in Alaska. Maybe I can figure out how to post a page from it here. Note that it is vol. 1, no. 1. The very first issue of OL magazine. Interesting indeed. I emailed OL asking if they would be interested in it and never even got a response! Can you imagine that?!

E-bay has lots of old books and mags
 

I have a small collection of old mags from the 20-s from e-bay, 20-30.00 will normally buy a good condition old one.

I have one person interested in having me email him the old OL magazine. It's 24+Mb so I only want to do it once and will take a collection of email addresses. Anyone else?? You have until tomorrow night to get me your email address then I'm gone for a week. It really is a good read. Even has an article about the 'recent indian troubles out west'.... how times have changed, eh?

send me an email so I can automatically add you to my address list.

Gary Carmichael loaned his copy of that issue to Parker Pages, and we reproduced much of it about 5 years ago. Although the issue should be well beyond copyright, we informed present day F&S but recieved no reply. There may not be continuity in the publication.
