Great information. I have a 1904 Parker calendar featuring "Dood" and other prominent Parker shooters, and have often wondered about the man. We drive by Spirit Lake on our way to Minnesota often. I think I'll stop at the Park after reading this.
Thanks for (re-)posting this. Does someone still have the gun?
