Cantey Collection

Later copy of a cabinet photograph of Chief of Police, John Kemsey, Peoria, Ill. He was involved in the chase and capture of outlaw Frank Rande. Photographed in later life.

Male jury in Dayton, Nevada in 1882.  Under image is written "Thurlow Douglas and other members of the Mystic 12". Written on back is "Indian Trial at Dayton in November 1882 convicting Chas.  Genzel for murder of an Indian woman". Four men in photograph are numbered. They are:  1) Thurlow Douglas (Forman?), 2) John Damon, 3) William Roleno, and 4) William Penrose. Photo signed By H.V. Clints as photographer.  I have never seen another photograph of a western jury before so I was interested in buying it for my site here.

This is a nice group of four American Indians from a same family group. The two men were probably brothers. The seated man was Papa of the baby and husband of the young woman behind and beside him. The men wear buckskin costumes. The baby is in a elaborate shirt and Mom in a beautifully beaded dress. She holds a single shot rifle. The seated man wears some sort of ribbon and metal. The image is by Smith & Hodson, St. Marys, O. (Ohio). These groups generally worked for Wild West Shows or Patent Medicine Shows. They are a FINE looking group. The cabinet is an 1880s albumen.  There is no identification of who they are. 

Early stereo of the town Of Deadwood, Dakota Territory in 1870s, very early 1880s. It is by "Views in the Black Hills" and titled on the back. "Central City. Deadwood Gulch". It looks mostly the same when Hickok died there in 1876.

Two RPPC of a circa 1900-1910 execution. In the first one, prisoner is being escorted by two lawmen. He is in handcuffs. There are armed military guards behind them. In the second one, his coffin is being driven away in a wagon surrounded by a large crowd. There is no identifications on either image and no location.
