dempsey,
<br>
<br>i posted the below note on the rifle section of shooters.com.
<br>
<br>according to the publisher's excerpt on the book (which i am about to purchase), uncle jack did indeed shoot off one of his toes. perhaps others who have already read the book could fill in the details.
<br>
<br>cheers,
<br>

<br>speaking of 'uncle jack', safari press has a new book out entitled 'jack o'conner, the legendary life of america's greatest gunwriter' (safari press 2002).
<br>
<br>the limited edition is sold out, but trade copies can be purchased directly from the publisher (www.safaripress.com), or at web-tailers such as amazon.com or barnes & noble.com
<br>
<br>cheers and good reading.
