The authenticated 1881 tintype sold at auction last yr of Morgan Earp & wife, Doc Holliday & Kate Elder among others, known as "The Picnic". Taken on Morgan Earp's 30th birthday, 6 months before the shootout at the OK Corral.
1913 would have been the yr Begay & John Wetherill guided Zane Gray on their second expedition (Gray's first) to the Natural bridge in Utah.I love that pic.
Ozark County, Missouri (c. 1915 - 1920). As today ... always be sure to bring a good hat, a varmint gun and enough beverages for everyone when venturing out in the woods.
And keep your finger inside the trigger guard and make sure you point the gun at your friend. I’d have some words for that fella if he was at my range or at my camp.
Seeing the photo of Zane Grey made me remember my grand mother told me her father [my great grand father AP Dodd] loved Zane Grey. He would read his books over and over.
She also told of the time he got to see the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. I believe in 1895 in Birminham Alabama.
My great grand father.
And a few more of Zane Grey.

And just because its a neat photo, Zane Greys living room in his Avalon, Catalina Island, California house, built in 1925. The house now serves as the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel.
