Captain Adam H. Bogardus was a superb marksman in the field, on the shooting range, and on the stage during the latter part of the 19th century when shooting for recreation and for exhibitions and tournaments then so popular. Such contests were highly publicized entertainments and substantial sums were bet by participants as well as spectators. In his sometimes immodest accounts Bogardus tells of his life, his passion for hunting, and his consuming desire to achieve marksmanship supremacy nationally and internationally.
