Does anybody know where I can get a copy of "The Road to Yesterday", or does anybody have a copy they would sell?--Thanks

Mike,
Dick's daughter, Susan, has copies for sale. I think you can find her on eBay. Go there and type in the book title and see if she comes up.

Found this one but pretty pricey.

Got mine in 2010 from his daughter Susan Baldwin Sturdevant living in Connecticut. She mentions that it is the first and only printing. It is a great book and worth the $40.00 I paid back then. Its time I read it again.

The price probably reflects the remaining inventory, which must be getting low. I'm not selling mine for any price. It's a great book.

I purchased my book in 2005 before I met Dick. I don't remember why I didn't pick it up at the time of purchase, maybe to have it signed. I had made a donation to the Hall Of Fame and one of the ladies in the office told him about my donation and I had a nice note enclosed above his signature when I got my book. We had a chance to talk briefly when we were staying at a Waterloo motel while shooting at Sparta. I wish I had gotten to know him better. One thing he mentioned was he would like see a movie made about the Topperweins. I don't know how involved he would have been or even if he would have been involved. What a wealth of information in that book. Mine will never be for sale at any price and I know some people who are loaded.

I know this is an old thread, but I just stumbled into it. I knew Dick (and his Dad, Cliff) quite well. I grew up trapshooting at Wooster Mountain Gun Club, where I worked as a trap boy in my early teens. Dick worked with me and got me started shooting trap, and in return for some shells I cut his and his Dad's grass. Great deal, if you were a young shooter. Because of Dick and Cliff I became a lifelong Remington fanboy.

Looking now for his book; I'll be back in Danbury, CT soon and will be shooting some trap up at Wooster Mountain while there.

I got my first copy from Dick himself one year at the Grand. I was able to get a second copy from his daughter Susan Baldwin Sturdevant. She had a few copies left but that was about 3 or 4 years ago. I believe she lives in FL. now. I used to have the address but don't think I kept it. Maybe nitro27man might be able to help you since he is a former Remington rep. and knew Dick Baldwin well. It is a Great book indeed!

Great read about the history of our sport. I especially like the chapter regarding the loooong shoot-off between George Snellenberger and Dan Orlich.

If you're wanting to get a copy to read, you might try your local library. I happened to find one at ours still in circulation.

I was blessed to meet and become friends with Dick Baldwin before he passed.

What a mind that fellow had. I was waiting for him to autograph the book I bought from him and as we chatted I mentioned I was from Canandaigua NY.

He immediately told me he set the traps for the NY state shoot in 1951 at Canandaigua, and his father Cliff was the cashier.

I told him I had one of the 2 traps that we used at Canandaigua when I began setting targets out there in 1961, and we developed a real repour after that.

A fine man and historian lost way too soon.

Here is the trap that I completely refurbished that Dick and I both set targets on, only 10 years apart.
