I would love to see it as it was.

He's from my hometown.Legendary frontier lawman Wyatt Earp (1847-1929) in his later years.
Like many of those old West figures, Wyatt was a complicated character. I think if we tended to view those people as such we would determine they were remarkable people in remarkable times, but with many human flaws, and products of the turbulent times. And the reality is, truth is stranger and much more entertaining than fiction.He's from my hometown.
For many years "Home of Wyatt Earp" was on our water tower, but was taken off because people saw him as more of an outlaw than a hero. Which is nonsense to me...
There's a lot of Earps still here. I'm actually good friends with one of them.
A few of those gents remind me of the well-dressed criminals in the "mug shot" photos of the 1920s seen upthread; makes me wonder what they did for a living and why this photo was taken.Group in Albuquerque, circa 1930:
Love the light color felt with dark thin ribbon.

Yeah, but I could easily see them falling like dominoes if the driver suddenly popped the clutch.
Great pics Michael. I'll be studying these for a while. I can already see that dog is just like mine & does an excellent job of playin' dead.

That's a nice display of straws and felts in all kinds of styles, shapes, and conditions.
