Description: The caption reads:
"Hunters who came from all parts of New York to hunt the Black Duck and other marsh fowl on the edges of Shinnecock Bay many years ago sang the praises of Charles Somers Bunn whom many claim was the finest guide on Long Island. A farmer with his heart only faintly submerged in that occupation, Charlie Bunn was by choice a guide and a hunter and a fisherman. To watch him at work in his garden was to view a man bored to the gills but to glimpse him walking along the edges of the bay at Shinnecock with rifle in hand one saw the true personality of the Long Island Indian come to the fore.
Here he is shown with a crossbow in shooting stance. This was used by boys on the reservation many years ago and the construction of crossbows among several Eastern Tribes is in itself an interesting study."
