While perusing a book catalog from one of the discount book sellers they had listed a book entitled-The Champion Buffalo Hunter-The Frontier Memoirs of Yellowstone Vic Smith.Is anybody out there familiar with this gentleman?I ordered the book but haven't got it yet.I have some of the older books on buffalo hunting and hunters but never ran across this fellow before.

 Victor Grant Smith (1850-1925) if you Google Yellowstone Vic Smith or Victor Grant Smith
There is a Bio about him...also a Living Historian doing a First Person impression of him...

Happy reading sounds like great life story

I have just started reading the Vic Smith autobiography.  It's pretty good.  There's not a lot of material culture detail (that's what I look for), but I haven't seen any outrageous lies. 

I report more later.

I kind of thought the tales got taller as the book progressed.

If you haven't read it you might like "Happy as a Big Sunflower" by Rolf Johnson.It about the authors experiences as a young man from 1876-1880 during the settlement of Nebraska as a homesteader and his adventures later on.I picked up a copy from Edward R.Hamilton Booksellers at a discounted price for $4.95.It's a Bison Books from the Univ.of Nebraska and if I remember it's anotated.
