The Old Timer, Wandering Always Like The Wind

The Old Timer, Wandering Always Like The Wind

by Robert Cappelletti | Jan 7, 2025 | BIG GAME, HUNTING, LIFESTYLE, Sporting Classics Daily

by Scott Bestul | Jan 6, 2025 | ART, ART & COLLECTIBLES, LIFESTYLE, PERSONALITIES

"Dennis identifies with big, powerful animals; the bold and the dangerous," Smith says. "But he shows you some nuance of them that you've never seen. It's like he knows we have some preconceived notion of what a certain animal is, so he doesn't bother with that." The...

An unlikely life. He was an English banker who ran off to America at an early age. He nearly starved in Mexico, bunked in a California bordello. He passed himself as a cowboy, farmer, lumberjack, Yukondog-musher and gold miner. He drove an ambulance in the First War...
