Any fans of "Taming the Nueces Strip"?
I'm reading it again. This is the 3rd time I believe and I enjoy reading about that time period. The only problem with reading it is I always end up wanting a Cimarron McNelly 50-70 Sharps. Would love to shoot one with blackpowder. The 50-70 is the one fifty caliber I haven't spent time with. Cool round. Yes, you can get them in 45-70 but it's not the same. More practical sure...but not the same.
Any fans of the book or the 50-70? I've thought about reading the book about John Fisher also (same time period and Nueces Strip area).
