Impressive picture! If I remember correctly that massive cowboy pistol collection bought by Cabala’s & displayed in their Gun Library some yrs back now, was dicended down from Rainwater.

Carthage, MO was the birth home of Myra Maybelle “May” Shirley, better known in history as “Belle” Starr. Her parents were innkeepers & some historians make a business connection between her father & Joe Church, & later a romantic connection with May. But she was married so many times the timing & connections are weak.

Civil War veteran. "If looks could kill" served him well in war time.

Those are some amazing overalls too.

I have just seen this post. And this is a photo of William F Cody !

I was going to argue with you, because that photo shows up as Stetson in more than a few places. However, after looking at some more shots of Cody, that cravat on his tie is in several shots of Buffalo Bill.

Believe it or not, it's hard to find a pic of Stetson wearing a hat.

Mea culpa.
