The Road to Yesterday

Thanks Phil...

I got my copy of The Road to Yesterday when Dick was set up at a gun show.

The other day when I got out my 1907 Remington Arms Co. catalog for the thread about the nice BE-Grade Remington Hammerless Double, I notice this interesting writing on the cover --

I've had the catalog for years, and don't think I'd ever read what was written on the cover.

This thread jogged my memory about trying to find a copy. I checked Amazon and they show one copy used with no pictures from a dealer with a pretty stiff price. I then checked eBay and they had one copy from a New York dealer. It was in an original shipping envelope (slit open at the top) and looked brand new. The dealer stated it had been opened and put on a shelf untouched. Could be hype but it really looked to be true. Price was $118 so I ordered it.

One interesting point was that there was another small pamphlet with the book in the envelope which was titled:

"PAHQUIOQUE ROD and GUN CLUB"

"-Through the Decades-"

"Presented to the Membership @ the 106th Annual Banquet"

The club is in Danbury CT.

The envelope does not look to have been addressed or look to have been posted.

I am not familiar with the club and my guess is that the book along with the smaller pamphlet were presented as a package at the banquet. Does anyone know if there is a connection between the book, the club and/or the author?
