1870's Era Tintype Photograph of 2 Armed Cowboys on Horseback
« on: December 04, 2009, 01:12:01 PM »


This old image shows two cowboys mounted on horses posing in front some kind of an old barn or small house. If you look closely, they are holding the reins in one hand while brandishing revolvers in the other. The fellow on the right appears to have a large frame Smith and Wesson revolver.

My equine knowledge sez "them aint horses them's mules"
When the cambrian measures were forming they promised purpetual peace. They swore if we gave up our weapons the wars of the tribes, they would cease, but when we disarmed they enslaved us and delivered us bound to our foe and the Gods of the copybook headings said, "Stick to the devil you know."
