    Only thing I’d suggest is for the host to not talk so much and let his guest speak more

  • A must listen

    Mike is super knowledgeable, but more importantly, a wonderful person. His inside trade perspective is invaluable and there might not be another HVAC Tech more connected with the trade community in North America.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sam Swanner’s Pistol
Q: What were the key steps you took to verify the gun's authenticity and its linkage to Sam Swanner?
I traced the gun through family ownership, obtained a Colt factory letter, checked shipping records to Browning Brothers, studied ivory grips usage, and cross-referenced local histories of the Teton Basin and the post-shootout era to corroborate the grandfather's role as a lawman who could have claimed such a firearm.
Sam Swanner’s Pistol
Q: Tell us about how you first connected the pistol to your grandfather and what you found in the process.
The gun's provenance became clearer as family stories aligned with archival sources; after discovering the connection through relatives and then confirming it with museum records and a Colt letter, we built a narrative tying the pistol to Sam Swanner and to the Cunningham Cabin era.
Captain Cookesley’s Photograph
Q: What are some of the most surprising connections you found while researching?
I uncovered a network of individuals around the Bighorn Basin, the Spackman brothers, Jim Stone, and Hoskins, whose connections to Cassidy-era figures helped piece together the community around the branding crew and the circumstances of the photograph.
Captain Cookesley’s Photograph
Q: Tell us about the book and what drew you to this photograph?
The book compiles archival research from state and tract books, cross-referenced with the photo's mount inscriptions, leading to a narrative about Harvey Ray and surrounding figures, and the broader story of British and American West history.
Go West, Young Dog!
Q: Why make the book free?
To promote these dogs and ensure their historical significance is accessible, not commercialized; the author hoped the stories would reach a wide audience and inspire respect for canine contributions to American history.
