Unknown Man (?): "Maybe you should stop wearing that stupid pointy hat and wear this instead ... oh, and change your ways"
Governor Clarence J. Morely takes a cowboy hat from an unknown man dressed as a cowboy, possibly an actor, on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol building in Denver, Colorado. Morely served as Governor of Colorado from 1925 to 1927, and was known as the Ku Klux Klan Governor during the political peak of the Klan in the 1920's. Shows four men in cowboy outfits and suits.

Unknown Man. Huh. Apparently this "gender fluidity" thing goes back farther than I thought.

Judging from his own shoes, the Shoeshiner never studied marketing.

I was thinking something similar. If that is a man, he was very effeminate.

Mt. Gilead School built in 1870 on what was then known as the Liberty to Plattsburgh, MO Road. The Gilead Church & cemetery which predate the school are nearby. The school is often used for plays & reenactments.

Some of Jennison's 7th Cavalry Jayhawkers patrol the streets of Weston, MO. Weston was one of several small riverport towns along the Missouri River important to both sides during the Civil War as the railroad had not been built yet. Because of their importance these riverport towns were never burned or otherwise destroyed as were the towns not located along the river.
Some of Jennison's men sit for a photo.
The Missouri Valley Hotel was the largest structure in the riverport town where I live. It was built on the banks of the river & flooded one too many times to survive until today. As control of the town switched back & forth between sides the hotel was used as a fort in which to stand off the enemy. With so many Paw Paw trees growing along the river banks, the Missouri Valley Hotel became known as the Paw Paw Fort.

Original one room cabin with open tack room built in 1822 by Jacob Gromer. At some date the tack room was enclosed to make two rooms. The Robert Sallee James family acquired the cabin in 1845 & added the first addition to the east. Zeralda James sold that addition to the Worlds Colombian Expedition in Chicago in 1893, & bought a larger addition from the Sears and Roebuck Co. The World's Colombian Expedition went bankrupt & the first addition was sold again to a promoter. So pics of the homestead thru the yrs can be dated by pre-1893 & post-1893.
Pre-1893 showing the first edition
Post-1893 with Zeralda James & guests (note woman wearing what looks to be a Sugarloaf Sombrero to the left of Zeralda)
Zeralda James & guests circa 1905, approx 6 yrs before her death
Date unknown & men unidentified (post-1905 I would think)
1940's pic with Frank's son Robert & his wife Mae, possibly post-1944 after Robert's mother Annie died. Cabin is in major disrepair but Robert & Mae continued to live there. Green arrow points to the window the Pinkerton's threw the kerosene bomb thru.
At some point the cabin was in such bad shape to make it look better it was covered with clapboard siding. Mae ended up inheriting the cabin after Robert's death & donated it to the National Historic Registry in the 1960's. It wouldn't be until 1979 that it was given to the state of Missouri & a full restoration & update was started. Jesse's original grave on the farm was excavated then to see what had been left behind when his remains were moved to town in 1909.
