Brothels in the Old West
27 Replies
Would anyone happen to know of a "list" of any kind that would name the brothels in the old west, in the years 1872 through 1882 (with owners names if possible)? Specifically in Dodge City,…Continue

I'm trying to find info about four gunfights, certainly not famous ones. I have a newspaper clip about the first one and just the family stories about the others. I'm not even sure I've posted in…Continue

"Well, one can see where sharing of photos might be an issue within this family structure...:)"

"I have copies of some photos. This first one is Smokey Joe, who was in the Duran gunfight.
The second photo is Bill Miller when he was younger, just before his Indian fight, I believe."

- Hiya Angie! I saw the photo finalists in the last issue of True West that I received today!
Amazingly found new tintypes re/George W. Morgan in an on line auction! I can't believe it.

- So, Angie do you like the cowpoke pics? I'm not a huge fan of them. For one thing a field was being fired a few miles away and the air was filled with smoke. No wind. Everything smelled like buring grass, which it was, of course.

- The cowpokes that I photographed are direct relatives of Walter Pitzer Chisum and Inez Simpson Chisum.

- Yes, I had a great time photoing the cowboys. However I felt kinda like a fool. I wasn't helping, I was just walking around with my camera. I was raised around cattle, so I'm comfortable standing in amongst them, but I wasn't doing any real good.
I sent them all enlargements and I hope they framed some. They said they had never been photographed working before.

I've worn so many hats over the years-actor,artist,college art and literature instructor etc. and some historic fiction demonstrably shows a lot of careful research and is often cited by later historians.I'm honored by your request.Want to read a great historic novel?Jack Finney's Time and Again about an artist who time travels back to 1882 New York.It's unbelievably detailed and beautifully crafted.Jack Finney also wrote the work that became Somewhere In Time starring the late Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.
