Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
That's a low-res copy. It looks like maybe a schoolhouse. Swing in front. Lots of little ones in stand-by mode. No visible firearms. I'd like to see details of the others, but this image doesn't enlarge well enough. I wonder if any of the others have been identified.

I think that the man pointing could be Dick Brewer (Richard M. Brewer) was killed at Blazer Mill by Buckshot Roberts.
Roberts shot Brewer through the eye with a .45/70.
"FRESNO, Calif. -- A collector bought a photo at a junk shop in Fresno, California, for $2. Turns out, the guy on the left of the photo is the infamous outlaw, Billy the Kid, playing croquet.
Photos of Billy are extremely rare-- experts say this one could be worth $5 million..."
I don't live too far away from where the find took place. This area holds quite a few little known secrets from the days of the Old West.
Interestingly enough, I still possess (handed down father to son) a couple of dozen .45 Colt 250 grain XTP bullets that Billy the Kid used to load his Single Action Army. I am hereby offering them for sale at the fair price of $1,00 each, never been used. Quite a bargain for a piece of history.
Apparently, they identified four other individuals in the photo, and historical records gave them an event at the locale where all 5 would have been at the same time.

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
Maybe I'm spittin' sour grapes, but of what use to history is the knowledge that Billy the Kid played croquet, and why would anyone pay $5M for proof that he did?
:lol
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Far as I know, prior to this, there was only one authenticated photo of B the K. So, I guess any photo of him would be valuable no matter what he was doin'. I would have paid $6M, but it was sold before I found out about it!

I sorta thought yer remark required some instructions... like: "no less than 10 pages; include regional and national impact, if any; typed, double spaced... "

One of the folks in the documentary, to these eyes well done, identified the lady to the right of the pointing man as Sarah Chisum. The image was made by a crack photographer, is in good condition, will inspire debate and research for years and invites us to step through a just opened door. Who's goin'?
