Texas Cowboys

[Shotgun Steve]

Cowboys at the town of Fort Griffin found ample pleasures as well as an abundance of trouble in saloons such as the Beehive and nearby prostitutes' cribs. Robert Nail Collection, courtesy of the Old Jail Museum.

Sure doesn't look like they wore new duds or studio props for this sitting.

See, you can tell that Shotgun Steve isn't making up the captions. If he was he surely would have called this "Texas Cowboy and Pirate" and wrote up how this was a photo of a Texas cowboy who's brother, who happened to be a pirate, was visiting him.

You can tell which one was the pirate by the hat.

Might not have been to the store yet? Or maybe it wasn't pay day?
