Buffalo Bill & Kit Carson + 3 Historys of America Show up in a dumpster
I'm still in shock My brother & I driving down the street , see a large roll away dumpster sitting in front of an old building ,,,, turned around to take a look ,,,,,, Wow !!!!!!!!!!! this thing was full of antique papers,books,just all kinds of stuff. I will try to make a long story short. With permission from the job supervisor we each carried away 2 box's of stuff. Digging through it yesterday, I found I had 3 old books on the history of America/United States. #1 Copyright 1883 ,"America its history & biography. #2 copyright 1895 ,"History of the United States". #3 Copyright 1910(3rd printing,the first was 1899) "A History of the United States". What great books with just tons of illustrations.
The main focus of this story is the 1883 book, what a treasure trove of our history & many treasure/detecting leads, Anyway flipping through the pages I came across a piece of paper stuck in between the pages,,,,reading it my jaw dropped ,,, was I looking at Buffalo Bills signature from Deadwood Dakota 1865, Flipped a few more pages and was looking at Kit Carson's signature In my mind *&^&*%$# What did I just find !!!!! Now ,I guess its time to do some research,was Buffalo Bill in Deadwood in 1865 ?? are they real OH BOY A NEW TREASURE HUNT We just never know what will pop up next !! If you do not look ,,, You will never find. HH to all
