A propos de cet article

Appears to be a hardcover limited edition, with 107/250 written on title page. Signed by author on title page, and a gift inscription by and signed by author on endpaper. (Also with Brief gift inscription by previous owner). Autographed copies rarely offered. When Jim Gatchell opened The Buffalo Pharmacy in 1900, the drugstore had an immediate impact on the Johnson County community. Bringing in people from far and wide, Jim enjoyed getting to know his customers and befriended many. Famous Army scouts, cowboys, settlers, cattle barons, and lawmen would all frequent the pharmacy sharing with Jim their stories of life, work, and war. Before landing in Buffalo, Wyoming, Jim had grown up on a Lakota reservation and was fluent in the Lakota language. Through this and his caring nature, he became a trusted friend of the region?s Native Americans. They brought him many gifts throughout the years including guns, war bonnets, tools, medicine bags, bows, arrows, and clothing. As word about the gifts got out, local residents began donating mementos of historic names, places, and events from Johnson County. All of the artifacts Jim received have a unique role in telling of the culture and history of Johnson County. After Jim Gatchell?s death in 1954, his family generously donated his vast collection to the people of Johnson County with the provision that a museum be built to house it. After three years of fundraising, the museum was established in 1957. The original museum was founded 1957 and focuses on Johnson County and frontier history. The museum's dioramas feature historic events and life along the Bozeman Trail, including the Wagon Box Fight, the Johnson County War between ranchers in the 1890s, the siege at the TA Ranch and a view of Buffalo's Main Street in 1894. Artifacts include frontier and military weapons, wagons, Native American artifacts, ranching gear, and household and historic items. The grounds include a two-room furnished log cabin. Dr. Gil Bollinger was Gatchells biographer, an author, and a volunteer and past president of the Gatchell Museum.…
