Hello and welcome to the Sunday Picture Show. Share your Buck knives with others by posting pictures of them here. New or old, plain or custom, user or safe queen, one or a collection, we love to see them all. This weekly tradition was started in 2010 by ItsTooEarly (Armand Hernandez) and Oregon (Steve Dunn). Help keep the tradition alive. Feel free to click that 'LIKE' but lets not let it replace discussing and complimenting each others knives. Above all, enjoy the show. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)
This Day in history... October 31, 1941. Completion and dedication of Mount Rushmore. 60 foot high faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. It originated as an idea to promote tourism to the region. Construction began in 1927. Promoted as a symbol of democracy, probably not so much to the Lakota (Sioux). The U.S. government promised the territory, including the entirety of the Black Hills, to the Sioux "so long as the buffalo may range thereon in such numbers as to justify the chase." The discovery of gold caused the government to renig on that promise and forced the Sioux to relenquish the Black Hills portion of their reservation. I recall some jokes a few years back about Trump wanting to be added.
This 903 Bowie was issued in 1990 by Buckle Tree, a business in Sturgis, South Dakota that specialized in commemorative products for rallies held in Sturgis.
Mine is #908, I do not know the total issue. Buckle Tree is possibly not a going concern anymore, a Google search turned up mention of a business auction. There is a 916 Bowie with a Mount Rushmore theme also. Hopefully someone will show it. I can't find mine.
Before Image. The mountain was known to the Sioux as the "Six Grandfathers". (Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe)
