M. P. Aylevard to Horace Kephart, June 23, 1919

  • wcu_kephart-1775.jpg
  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on June 23, 1919, Albert Britt’s secretary M. P. Aylevard from Outing Publishing Company informs him that Savage Arms Corporation sends their new .22 rifle. They ask Kephart to test the gun and write an article for “Outing”. He also passes on remarks from Roscoe Peacock on Kephart’s great articles in “Outing” and mentions Albert Britt’s recent salmon fishing trip.
  • OUTING MlOukhots yacbtinq Outing-Chester Pictures OUTING PUBLISHING COMPANY 141-145 WEST 36th ST. ^-—y# NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT Editorial. June 23rd 1919. Mr. Horace Kephart, Bryson City, N.O. Dear Mr.Kephart: At my request the Savage Arms Corporation is sending you direct from the factory at Utioa their new ,22 which they have been at work on for some years. I have asked them to do this in order that you might try the gun out and make a report on it for OUTING. I am enclosing herewith Mr.DeAngelis's letter, which please return to me as soon as you have read it. I thought you might like to have this little bunch of laurel presented to you. It doesn't hury sometimes to be told what a dueoe of a fellow you are. Incidentally I have just reoeived a letter from Mr. Roscoe Peacock. In the postscript he makes the following reference to youi "I want to congratulate you on the activity which Mr.Horace Kephart is showing in your editorial end. I regard Mr.Kephart as the most wonderful woodsman in this country - certainly the greatest who writes for publication. His first book on Camping and Woodcraft, (the one including cooking r eceipes) has been my Bible on every ttrip I made in this woods, and he has never misguided me. One old guide who nade his living trapping and fishing, and who could not even read or write, used to get me to read him chapters from Kephart's book, and his remark was, "That fellow has certainly been there. He is the firit one of these outdoor writers I know of who really seems to know what he is talking about. * I would be glad of any life sketch or other biography data in printed form regarding Mr. Kephart*s career to which you could cftte me. I have never read anything of his life, and would like to know where and how hw got his wonderful fund of woodcraft. I think in this respect he even beats my old friend Emerson Hough, and that is going some, as you will realize if you have read some of Hough's unsigned articles in the SCS.P. which Mr.Lorimer frequently publishes. n Very truly yours, Sec'vc to fr. Britto 4: P.S. Mr. Britt left on the fourteen^for a salmon fishing trip in New Brunswick. Never having fished for salmon, and being*a punk fisherman anyway, he doesn't expect that the salmo solar population will suffer heavily. However he always manages to get a good time wherever he goes, and I suppose this trip will be no exception. ^ Every man who went through the mill for Uncle Sam is a convert to the outdoor way. OUTING publications DOMINATE the outdoor field.
