Local cowboys gather around a shipment of gold produced at the Tom Reed mine in Oatman. Photo taken at Kingman railroad platform in 1915 with Harvey House in the background.

"Governor Pappy O'Daniel (aka Wilbert Lee O'Daniel) cuts up barbecue in a publicity shot for his inauguration party as the real cooks look on, 1941. More than 20,000 Texans showed up for this soiree', which took place after Pappy was inaugurated. The trimmings included some 1,300 pickles, a thousand pounds of potato salad, 3,500 loaves of bread, and 19,000 pounds of beef. Courtesy the Austin History Center"

The fellow in the middle is thinking "Governor or not ... what sort of fool wears a white hat to a barbecue?".
