Lot of 2 cabinet card portraits of Captain A.H. Bogardus, a champion shot of the world, and his sharpshooting sons, each stamped on the mount by Eisenmann, NY.
Beginning his trade as a carpenter, Adam H. Bogardus (1833-1913) brought the same attention to detail in his woodworking as he did in game hunting and shooting. He became such a skilled shooter that he earned the title of world wing shot champion and was a featured sharpshooter in William F. Cody’s and Doc Carver’s Rocky Mountain and Prairie Exhibition of 1883. He eventually became a third partner with Buffalo Bill and had his sons participate in his act in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. In addition to his impressive shooting skills, Borgardus invented the first practical glass ball trap for trap shooting in 1887.
