Ninety year old Libby angler still thrives on life
Henry Pauliniere, a French born adventurer now 90, has crusted his years with a lifetime of mining, smuggling, and restaurant ventures across New York, Mexico, California, Nevada, Deadwood, and Montana. He recalls opium smuggling near Macao, California gold rush days, Wild Bill’s Deadwood, and a Libby friendship with Hugh Scott, ending in a playful foot race between the two veterans.
