8-Bore;
"AMEN"
My first remembrance of Nash was upon reading an article of his which Field & Stream re-ran from a much earlier date, namely "Great Day in the Morning". I immediately became an admirer of his writing style. It was much later I learned of "The Saga of Bo Whoop".
There have been many guns "Go Missing" over the years & surrounded by Mystery.
Nash's became famous "Because" Nash himself was Famous.
