John R. "Jack" Abernathy (1876 - 1941)

Abernathy was known as the "wolf catcher" & it is said that in his lifetime he caught hundreds of wolves alive. In this pic taken near Frederick, OK in April 1905 on a hunt with Teddy Roosevelt, Abernathy is holding a live coyote by the snout. Thise with Abernathy & Roosevelt are identified as Lee Bivins & S. Bur.

Abernathy was the last US Deputy Marshal in Oklahoma Territory, serving from 1906 to 1910, & voted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1944.

You mean Briscoe Darling? Like Ricky Skaggs said, a man before his time!

"If you got time to breathe, you got time for music." Briscoe Darling

Check out "The Horse Soldiers" with John Wayne. Ken Curtis is in there, also Denver Pyle (Pa Darling) and Hoot Gibson.

Haha! Briscoe Darling never got too excited. He was one of my earliest heroes in my youth. My mother was not real pleased about that, but when I asked her if she'd rather I be more like Ernest T. Bass, she softened a little.

"That's mighty fine juggin', Mr. Darling."
"I can get banjo sounds, guitar sounds, any sound I want out of it."

I was always pleased to hear the darlings, or should I say the Dillard's, a smoking Missouri bluegrass band!

Yes, they surely played well. I have a couple of their "Greatest Hits" type albums. It's my understanding that the actress who played Charlene on the show would sometimes sing with them at their actual concerts - she had a fine voice too.

To keep the thread honest, here's Miss Charlene in a hat...

Good work, HJ. That’s a soft crown FDR’s wearing.

And, of course, Dud Wash on the right before he changed his name to Willie Gilligan, moved to Hawaii, and traded in his Filson for a sailor's cap to work on a charter boat.

As I understand it, the bass player has a PhD in Physics from MIT.

Posing on the left is said to be John Henry "Doc" Holliday. Positively identified on the right is Sherman McMasters. No one knows for sure just when & how McMasters died. One of Wyatt Earp's riders claimed that McMasters was killed during the vendetta with Clanton's cowboy faction. Earp told/wrote in some of his later doings that McMasters was killed in the Philippines leading up to the Spanish-American War. In 1902 McMasters sisters filed probate papers in Colorado claiming he had died but details are unknown.

Different wife in the last pic?

Different wife in the last pic?

No, infact Lou was the longest living of the Earp women. Not a good pic, I thought the same.



PS on Edit: after thinking about it, it was Ally, wife of Virgil who was the longest living of the Earp women. Not Lou.

Solomon Bibo, 1853-1934, Jewish immigrant and trader with Indians who married into the Acoma tribe in NM and was elected the Governor (chief) of their Pueblo four times. A short film on his life “Moses on the Mesa” was released in 2013.

Bob & Harrison McConnell of Nixa, Missouri (hometown of Jason Bourne!) somewhere between 1905 - 1915. I might try to duplicate the swoop of Bob's light colored hat (on the bottom).

Co-leader of the Māori party in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and noted opponent of neck ties, Rawiri Waititi. He was temporarily expelled from parliament for wearing a Māori taonga in place of the required neck tie. The requirement was later rescinded after public uproar.

Now that's product placement ...

And the prize for the coolest fur hat ever goes to...
August von Mackensen, fieldmarshal in WWI for Germany. The hat belongs to the regiment of the Leibhusaren or rather the Braunschweigisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 17.

Here's a colorized picture of him. Very interesting fellow and not someone you'd want to mess with; he was not cosplaying!
