If Mr. Highsmith doesn't have ice for his libations, everything becomes a derailment or train wreck.
If you would tell me in what fashion, I'd be happy to oblidge. I have jotted down bits and pieces of shooting geese at 80 yards with a single 4 bore, turkey hunting described( as Mr. Highsmith would call across the table to my boy of 4 months) to hunting with Nash as well as working on Mr. Buck's guns. It takes snake-eyed concentration on the inquiry as well as liberal spirits and Levi Garrett(?) tobacco(in early America, the Highsmiths grew tobacco and shipped it to England). If you can pick a topic he likes and be correct in your questions, he will fill in the gaps. He describes his War effort in repairing Rem. Model 11s(Humpbacks) for the aerial shooters, of which he was at first an instructor before he informed the Navy(because Mr. Highsmith deemed the Navy to be the most clean) he could repair guns.
Kind Regards,
Raimey
