I don't come here to discuss politics, but this notion that the Indians were these roving bands of environmentalists is laughable. They did not possess the population numbers, or the technology to make much of an impact on the world back then. Not always peaceful either. My wife is 25% Chickasaw, (a war like people, look it up) and has twice taken up arms in defense against bad guys. (don't get caught prowling around our backyard at night)
Back to the topic. I have a Lifter from 1874, serial no. 3130 that I suspect was a pigeon gun, back in the day. I base this assumption on grade, dimensions, and condition. I would love to know for sure, but it ain’t talking. I have first hand knowledge of its use on pigeons in my lifetime, btw.
Now if we can get back to Destry’s topic, without all the white guilt.
