Thanks very much for the compliment. All credit for my interest & curiosity begins with my grandfather who told me lots of stories about my ancestors as I was growing up. Yrs later after his death I set out mostly to prove to myself the stories he had told me. And one thing led to another.
When you have a hr to spend you might enjoy this new documentary on the shootout in Rattlesnake canyon, AZ.

Yes they are. That leopard app is something.

A quote attributed to her: Let any normally healthy woman, who is ordinarily strong, screw-up her courage and tackle a bucking bronco, and she will find the most fascinating pastime in the field of feminine athletic endeavor. There is nothing to compare, to increase the joy of living, and once accomplished, she'll have more real fun than any pink tea or theater party or ballroom ever yielded."

Like the hat, wonder how she kept it on?
Unless that is a backdrop that is great photography & depth of field for the era.
I wondered the same thing on both counts. Probably a foot long pin up there somewhere. The pic puzzles me.

If you look at the fence it appears to be a backdrop starting there.

How about Steve Martin. I watched The Jerk again this afternoon and laughed quite a bit. His stingy brim fedora was priceless. 
Here is another good fedora Steve wears well.

I would NOT get on that lady's bad side.
Pretty sure I'd flinch before she did. Read some of her history and you find out she was a tough old hide. Running a buffalo ranch pretty much one her own while "Bill" was gone for great stretches.

William Milton "Billy" Breakenridge (1846 - 1931)
Soldier, Teamster, Asst Tombstone City Marshal under John Behan, U.S. Marshall, & author. As a soldier at the age of 16 serving under Col. John Chivington, Breakenridge participated in the Sand Creek Massacre of the Cheyenne & Arapaho tribes. Breakenridge was serving as deputy sheriff under Behan who was then Cochise county Sheriff at the time of the gunfight outside the O.K. Corral. A gay man who was anti-Earp's, anti-Holliday & pro-Cowboy faction, Breakenridge probably did more than anyone at influencing the early movies & what was known of those yrs in Tombstone when he published his memoir "Helldorado, Bringing the Law to the Mesquite" in 1928.

It's interesting how media tends to portray the "good guys" and "bad guys", but folks like Earp, Holliday and the Cowboy faction were all very complex characters. Not as all good or all bad as we would imagine.

Agreed. I avoid the spin & do my own research.

Exactly. Truth is stranger and more interesting than fiction.
