Found those on a Texas fb page

This one is 1910.

And this one circa 1950

^^ The second picture with the LEOs makes me wonder if they had just made a bust or were on their way to a party.

And dag! That stuffed pelican is impressive. I hope it made someone a good meal before it was mounted.

Dang, nice hat. She could lose the ciggie, though. I think Mick's lips are bigger.

I only recently discovered this thread, and spent more than a few hours tonight reading and viewing the photos. Wonderful! It's a shame that so many images in the early posts have gone missing.

My own meager contribution is something I first discovered as a poster hanging on the wall of a local pizzeria:

Unfortunately, a search on the ol' Interwebz for information about this photo yielded very little other than a number of websites selling the aforementioned poster. Apparently, somewhere along the way someone decided to call it "Men in a Street of Napoli", but the photographer and year it was taken appear to be unknown. Also, it seems to have been cropped from a larger image, as I found this during my search:

Based on the car in the second photo I'd guess late 1950s to early 1960s, but otherwise... [huh]

Great pictures. And I've made a mental note to never try to look tough when riding on a mule.

Nothing strikes fear in the heart of desperate fugitive like the sight of a mule-borne posse closing in on him.

 

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Considering the terrain, a mule might be a better mount in that area.

Just my $0.02.

 

[frussell]

Are we sure those aren't just donkeys? If they're mules, they sure have gotten better looking nowadays.

 

[dh66]

Yeah. They kinda look like jackasses.

Mules are stronger, and have more endurance that a horse and can survive much longer in arid conditions. Many of the marshal posies who left judge Parkers courthouse in pursuit of criminals in the Indian territories did
so on the back of mules and were able to chase down most of the bandits they were after even though they were riding the "superior" horse.
