Elmer wrote one time of killing 13 rabbits with one pistol shot. Then he admitted it was a pregnant female. Elmer keith was man from the frontier who went to work doing a mans work at an age when it would have done him good to still be in school. His wife was a school teacher and I often wondered if he would have been able to write some of his early books without her. I got a letter from him in answer to one I wrote him when I was a young Sea Bee overseas and the typing had many errors including .45 Folt. It meant a lot to me that he cared enough to reply and there are a lot of others who got them too. I have read many times that folks went to his house and were invited in and treated as instant friends.
