I 've enjoyed Anderson's very much, but I've heard rumours
that some of the stories he tells were somewhat "embroidered"

What ever the truth, he always struck me as a very "average" chap who worked for a living, rather one of the rich upper classes.

I thinks this is in part why he used a lever action .405win at least in his early career. Ammunition availability and cost was another factor...
