OP Michael Petrov Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,881 Alaska	Townsend Whelen Bowling who is TW's Grandson has been working on collecting ALL the writings of Townsend Whelen. This is a major undertaking and will take years. Through Townsend Bowlings generosity and with his permission, I'm going to post a few pictures that I think might interest the folks who visit here. Ft. Benning house circa 1925. I ask that you not re-post these anywhere. MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

The bottom one is a mystery gun in a case, the next one up a Winchester Single Shot and above that a Winchester 95. What a library the man had! Glenn There is no sacrifice too great for someone else to make.

I remember a No.7 leaning against a shelter in one of his books. Page 49 "Mister Rifleman". MP Sadly Deceased as of 2/17/2014

If I am right and it can be found then it would be interesting if it was taken in the room pictured.
