...another blast from the past - Hager's book

Posted By: Adam J. Baxter

Scott,

Dennis Purdy, Sr. did a truly magnificent investigative 18 page editorial on Hager and his "guide". The article was "Alan C. Hager: A Buffalo Hunter in a Wild West Hobby" and it was published in VCBC # 9. According to Dennis' article, this book is filled with errors and false information. I can't remember all of them offhand, so you'll have to read the article. I skimmed through a copy of Hager's guide that a friend of mine had a few years ago and aside from a few nice pictures, I couldn't find anything useful about it. Personally I think that Alan Hager and his people represent a lot of what's wrong with this HOBBY. I believe Dennis referred to Hager's book as "Pretty like a whore" and I think no truer words have been spoken.

Regards,
Adam
