DescriptionWild West - October 2015 {BinanGotit}      Victor Grant “Yellowstone Vic” Smith (1850–1925), known for his prowess as a crack shot frontiersman, is not dressed to kill in this 1886 portrait taken when he was about 36—but he is dressed for a shooting exhibition in Livingston, Mont. Tony Sapienza, owner of the photo, notes that the Winchester Model 1873 Smith holds has a silver-scrolled buttstock and was a gift from French-born Dakota Territory rancher the Marquis de Morès. Among Smith’s other associates, Sapienza says, were John “Liver Eating” Johnson, Luther Sage “Yellowstone” Kelly, John “X.” Beidler and Theodore Roosevelt. “Yellowstone Vic is not a well-known Westerner today,” adds Sapienza, “but he was a government scout, Indian fighter, professional hunter, trapper, guide and exhibition shooter. To really be captivated by him, get a copy of his memoir, The Champion Buffalo Hunter, edited by Jeanette Prodgers.” (Photo: Tony Sapienza Collection)  Related Torrents
