Talk:Frederick Russell Burnham

message: On the third picture on the page the caption reads: "Burnham in Africa (middle) holding his Remington Model 1875 No. 3 Army in .44 WCF rifle". Now I am no expert, but AFAIK the "Remington Model 1875 Army" was a six-shooter pistol, not a rifle. I cannot tell from looking at the picture (and I doubt anybody can), but in "Burnham: King of Scouts" (end of chapter 7) it states that he set off from Durban (with Blanche and "The Kid") in 1893 (the date on the photograph) with an 1892 lever-action Winchester .44. --Mikepeat (talk) 14:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Both the book "Boy Scout Handbook" 1911 as the "Boy Scout Handbook" 2011 (one hundred years later) clearly differentiate between Scoutcraft and Woodcraft. But here in Wikipedia claim that the two terms are almost the same.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.137.188.105 (talk) 06:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

message: According to the "Forgotten English" calendar for 11 May 2016 (Compiled by Jeff Kacrick, published by Sellers Publishing Inc, 161 John Roberts Rd, South Portland, Maine 04106, www.makefun.com) Burnham was involved with Robert F. Broussard in a scheme to import and farm hippopotami from Africa to Louisiana.  Evidently there was an "overgrowth of the invasive water hyacinth" and the idea was to clear the weeds and to raise meat for sale.  Apparently he raised some money through "Bill HR23261".  Quite an odd story, does anyone have any corroboration? Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In June 2014, RatPac Entertainment and Class 5 Films acquired the non-fiction article American Hippopotamus, by Jon Mooallem, about the meat shortage in the U.S. in 1910 and the attempts made by Burnham, Duquesne and Congressman Robert Broussard to import hippopotamuses into the Louisiana bayous to clear the water hyacinth and to convince Americans to eat hippo. Edward Norton, William Migliore and Brett Ratner will produce this feature film. Cite: Fleming, Mike. "RatPac, Edward Norton’s Class 5 Options ‘American Hippopotamus’".
