Thanks!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

He was the first white man to see Yellowstone, as I recall. When he told folks what he had seen, they thought he was lying.

He went to the coast with Lewis and Clark, and they granted him release when they were headed back to St. Louis at the mouth of the Yellowstone, where he joined two trappers headed back upriver.Originally Posted by white eagle

Yes, that was at the Three Forks of the Missouri. Some friends own a ranch he pretty much had to have crossed. He hid in a brush pile in the river to get away from them.
