Coming up: Tom Mix,
Just Tony (1922)
Lots of fish there! In that bottom one. I could do some fishing.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable amount of detail in that Harper's Weekly illustration.
ReplyDeleteGuess those anglers didn't have to worry about bringing in more than their limit in those days. ("Limit? WHAT limit?")
Looking forward to your JUST TONY entry. It's one of the few Tom Mix films I've seen.
Charles, amazing photo; what a time when game was so plentiful and no one had heard of endangered species.
ReplyDeleteDuane, JUST TONY is coming and SKY HIGH after that, both 1922. They're streamable at amazon.
I wish I'd had that kind of luck at Yellowstone, but we did catch enough for breakfast one morning.
ReplyDeleteThis pics are amazing. It's a pleasure to visit you. I learn a lot about American Western Literature in your blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
