This cabinet photo probably should be in another section but as Jesse is here, I think this should be here.    It is an old, faded albumen of the last stage that Jesse James and the Youngers robbed.  It was the stage that ran between Malvern, Arkansas and Hot Springs.   It was robbed in 1874.   It is known that Jesse and the Youngers indeed robbed it and three passengers of $3,000 and some valuables.     The image was made after the event and sold as souvenirs but few are extant in any condition.    It is identified on the front and back of the mount.    There is no photographers mark.    You can see other versions on the internet.   I have scanned it at 1200 DPI.
