Abstract

The shooting careers of William H.

H. Richard are also represented. Gathered by Mrs. W.H. Richard into scrapbooks, it was grandson Calvin Richard who gave the first of this material in 1999, followed by the copying of additional materials in 2005 by himself and his cousin Don Richard.  All original materials are still held by the Richard family.
