This doesn't happen very often, but my introduction to Mike was via
The Washington Post.

My Wife got me the book, her notes along the top edge of the clipping.
After reading
The Best Shotguns Ever Made in America I began a correspondence with Mike and began feeding him information from my research at The Library of Congress, The National Archives, The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, etc. leading towards what Bill Headrick dubbed
The Finest Book in the World.
