> I have been getting e-mail about "George Buck Conner" and what movies he was in when working in Hollywood. I have an article in a Guns & Ammo 1985 Annual and it says he was a sidekick to Bob Steel (I remember him), died in 1946 in Yuma AZ when a deputy still carrying a Colt used in the Viva affairs.

The only reason I'll even answer your request, is it is slow right now and this should end this OFF TOPIC discussion, I hope. Next time e-mail me OFF_LIST thanks guys.

This is a copy of a letter received from a video manufacturer that supplies local Video Stores.
Dear Mr. Conner:
Let me first apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry about your Grand FatherÆs brother, Buck / George ConnorÆs movies. You were given an out-of-date address; the correct one follows at the end of this message.
I did some additional research and found a filmography for George. We did not have him listed in our database since the information we receive from suppliers is often very limited, particularly with older titles. I will be adding him to all the titles we list as currently available on video, after a little research I found he has an interesting career in the movie industry, as a stuntman, co-star, and plus his role with Viva in earlier years as a "white reporter".
His filmography includes:
The Westerner (1940)
West of Santa Fe (1939)
The Law Rides (1936)
Alias John Law (1935)
No Man's Land (1935)
The Last Round-Up (1934)
The Thundering Herd (1934)
Desert Vengeance (1931)
The Dawn Trail (1930)
Trails of Peril (1930)
Grit Wins (1929)
Hell's Heroes (1929)
The Crimson Canyon (1928)
The Fearless Rider (1928)
The Phantom Flyer (1928)
The Mojave Kid (1927)
Jaws of Steel (1927)
The Fighting Three (1927)
The Bronco Buster (1927)
Hands Off (1927)
Hidden Loot (1925)
Biff Bang Buddy (1924)
Fighting Fury (1924)
The Back Trail (1924)
The Duke of Chimney Butte (1921)
Action (1921)
The Phantom Riders (1918)
__________________________________________
Letter goes on - but I belive this will answer your questions, let get back to the correct time period as this list is intended to deal with, late 1700's to 1850.
Sorry for this OFF TOPIC discussion, and lets hear some period stuff, did we all go hunting or have an encampment last week ?????
Later,
Buck Conner

Yeah, even in England, filer was a profession. I think I read somewhere that
it took 13 different artisans to make a fine British shotgun. But in order
to take those small pieces home, they had to be cut from bigger pieces
somehow. I'm sure every scrap was used if possible to make something. I
probably should have paid more attention when I visited the gunsmith shop at
Williamsburg years ago. They probably had the answer there and I overlooked
it.
Maybe Dennis can help......Hawk should be out in the boonies somewhere for
his annual meat hunt.
