This pic has been published a lot usually without any documentation. It is the Babbitt Ranch 1907, all that was left of B.B. Bullwinkle & the legendary Arizona Cattle Company holdings. The Arizona Cattle Company's best yr was driving 10,000 head to market.

TJ needs that beer stein for his coffee cup so he wouldn’t have to cover up with his hand.

Great stache!

Arizona Rangers on the frontier.

Private Bill Foster wears his Arizona Ranger badge and holds the standard Ranger 1895 Winchester .30-40 lever-action rifle as he stands to the left of Deputy Sheriff Clark Farnsworth in 1903. Two years later, Farnsworth would enlist with the Rangers.

Note: Double belt cartridges around the waist has got to be for the camera.
I can’t see carrying this much weight all day while riding.

Augustine Chacon
A Mexican outlaw and folk hero in Arizona Territory, Augustine Chacon, was most known for a gunfight that took place after he and his gang robbed a store in Morenci, Arizona, in 1895. Chacon’s buddies were killed, but the posse captured him and took him to the jail in Clifton (at right). During the shoot-out, Chacon had killed posse member Pablo Salcido. Chacon was sentenced to hang for that murder in 1896, but he escaped jail the next year. In 1902, Arizona Ranger Capt. Burt Mossman set a trap by convincing outlaw Burt Alvord to help him capture Chacon.

Frontier justice.

Chacon hanging amidst a plethora of Stetsons.

Doing some research on the 1922 Stetson I just picked up by scanning the UC Berkeley digital archives. Apropos of what we were discussing in the "stingy brim" thread, there's a good variety of styles.

1931.

1927.

Unknown date.

Still can't really find any info related to my hat, but I did find some cool local history photos.

These poor folks sure wouldn't recognize Berkeley about 70 years later.

Several years ago a good friend spent a couple of hours in Berkeley during a trip to San Francisco. He later told me that while he was there he saw a single long-haired and bearded older gent walking down the street wearing faded blue jeans and a tie-dyed tee shirt, but that it looked so much like a costume that he was immediately convinced the Chamber of Commerce was paying the gent to walk around looking that way to remind the tourists of the town's hippie/counter-culture history.

During WWII the country needed labor to harvest crops for the war effort. The Braceros program was an organized importation of labor from Mexico. Great story, we have some interesting images in the Archives. This one caught my eye the other day. A line of Braceros workers in line at the chow tent. Check out the brim on the guy at the end of the line!

Oh please don't shoot them!
Depending on the time period,
that's what they thought was
appropriate.

For Labor Day. An early scrub seal, and a concrete crew. Can you spot the crew foreman?

The crew foreman is always the one with the smug look...
