      From: Cowboy1905@webtv.net              Jason,        I collect western antiques and photos, while I was recently       in Deadwood I picked up some cabinet card photos taken in the area one       was from a photographers studio in Lead. I hadn't really looked at the       cards to closely and simply put them away with a lot of other photos and       such that I had purchased. However now that I've had a chance to look at       them the one from Lead of a young lady standing next to a seated man       who is about in his mid 20's and who looks exactly like Butch Cassidys       famous       1894 Mug Shot photo.Now I know that the chances are slim that this is       him and I've seen quite a few photos that kind of looked like some one       famous,but I've got to say that this is a Dead Ringer! Hair is       similar,ears,nose,mouth the same,and he even has that arch in the one       eyebrow! If I can find some evidence that he might have been in that       area (and you have given me two possible connections) I am going to       persue this and try and get some expert opinions on the possibility that       this is an unknown photo of Ol' Butch himself! Your further opinions on       this would be greatly appreciated!              Thanks,       Mike              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
