William Alton Jones owned a 2000+ acre hunting preserve in Rhode Island where he vacationed and entertained his close friend D. Eisenhower and many other dignitaries. The Jones property was given to the University of Rhode Island upon his untimely death in a plane crash. Today it is the Alton Jones Campus and wildlife research center. This fine pair has made their way back and forth across the pond many times to shoot at esteemed estates scattered across the countryside. Consider acquiring this fine pair and continuing the tradition.
