Early Arkansas Hunters: Out of Town Hunting Club Raise Hell, 1899

Ten Red Horse Hunting Club members out of St. Louis traveled to Stonewall, Arkansas, on the Cache River.  Headquartered in St. Louis, the men and equipment rode the rails from Missouri to Arkansas.  However, it seemed that this group was more interested in beer and mischief than hunting, setting off “foot long firecrackers” along the tracks and waking the small town of Stonewall at 3 a.m.[1]
