Found this story about Dodge City buffalo hunting today while searching for things to see there. It's worth a read and something I'd never run across before.

Check out the asking price for a Sharps at the Front Street hardware store (Zimmerman's).

That's a pretty good story. Also a big markup on the rifles.

I read that one a while ago. The author of the story must have been inspired by Frank Mayer's "The Buffalo Harvest." There couldn't have been THAT many people so willing and able to pay $200.00 for a $50.00 rifle.

Great story. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the author has written any other stuff like this.
