Right Craig, he worked for/at Parker Bros. For a period during which time he may have “made” the Columbian Exposition…….

Are all of those paragraphs on the depicted page actual quotes of a real person? Who wrote that rubbish? There are so many unsupported claims about which guns actually? In some cases when referring to a gun’s features he doesn’t even identify which gun he’s talking about. Some of that “information” is so far out of context it’s hard to believe any of his other claims

The way it’s presented it’s supposed to be what Buckingham was telling someone of which GBE got from the letters . And that page came from the book pictured below .
