I haven't seen Dent Myers for years. He was certainly on a different plain. Not to bash him, he was very knowledgeable about the War of Northern Aggression. There was a story that I heard that happened in his shop years ago. There was a young lad from the metro area that used to show up at some of our Reenactments dressed in WWII German attire. Usually a fatigue hat and the overcoat. Sort of a strange young fellow. He also carried around a Hitler Youth Knife as I recall. He was also escorted from the property anytime he was spotted. He made folks seem a little uneasy and was projecting the wrong time in History, and an image that we as Historians did not want to be associated with. One of the last times I was in Dent's store, who showed up but this same young fella. He was looking at books and Dent was watching him like a Hawk. Dent made the remark that he didn't much care for him or like him coming in his store. Dent used to always wear a 44 cal. revolver on his side. I was told a short time after this that the squirrel was back in Dent's shop once again and a storm suddenly blew up. A sudden heavy roll of thunder and a flash of lightening startled the squirrel and he turned to see Dent drawn down on him with this 44. I was told that Dent told the youth to leave his store and never set foot in it again. I heard that the youth took Dent to his word and soon disappeared.
