George Edwards, the "last of the old cowboys," takes aim as he prepares to fire at a small balloon which had been thrown into the air. This was only one of Edwards' many outstanding feats of marksmanship as he entertained more than 8,000 persons at two separate performances during his voluntary PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE visit to Kume Jima on Friday, Nov. 3. Here Edwards is shown during his morning performance at Torii-Shima in Gushikowa-Son where he kept an overflow audience of approximately 3,000 persons spellbound for more than an hour as he demonstrated a variety of trick shots with rifle and pistol. 【和訳】 西部の老カウボーイ久米島に渡る 空中に飛ぶ風船玉を的にピストルの引き金を引く「最後の老カウボーイ」ジョージ・エドワード氏。彼は11月3日に久米島へ親善訪問を行い、2度にわたり8千名余りの観衆にピストル射ちの妙技を披露した。エドワード氏は具志川村鳥島で当日の午前中1時間余りにわたり小銃とピストルを使って約3千名の観衆に数々のけん銃射ちの妙技を実演してみせた。 【分類】Ryukyuan-American Friendship / 琉米親善
