These
are exact replicas
of actual Wanted Posters, Railway Circulars, Pinkerton
Circulars, Exhibit Notices, and Vigilante Notices
from about 1849 to 1900. Once
a Wanted Poster Reward got big enough it usually resulted
in the outlaws death or capture. Jesse James is a
fine example of this.
The
Killing {Assassination?} of Jesse James
The James-Younger Gang seldom strayed far from Missouri
- except to do their robberies; confident their friends
and family would hide them out. Once the reward got
to 25,000 for Jesse it was just a matter of time before
the dirty little coward (Bob Ford), would kill Mister
Howard (Jesse James), as he stood on a chair to straighten
a picture, in his own home. As word spread of Jesse's
death - Bob and his brother Charlie raced to the telegraph
office and cabled Governor Crittenden: "I
have killed Jesse James. St. Joseph. Bob Ford".
Jesse's two murdering cousins rushed back to the James
House, now swamped with curious onlookers. Spotting
the local authorities, the brothers rushed up and
staked their claim to the infamous deed.
"I'm
Bob Ford," gasped Bob, " I shot him".
"I'm
Charlie Ford," gushed his brother, "I saw
him".

Our
poster paper is heavy duty stock, special ordered
by the ream, and is the closest we have found to actual
parchment paper that would have been used in the 19th
century. It's heavy weight and won't get torn or blown
off the hitching post! We don't stain it (reducing
it's life) all our aging is done with graphics - making
them crisp and clear. Posters are all ~ 11 x 17 and
are shipped flat.
Any
two of our 11" x 17" posters for $20
Bucks.
To
order any two posters - find your first poster then
click on the "Order

western poster from the drop down menu. Overseas

$500
For Jesse James
This
poster and the one below were issued within a few years of
each other. At 500 dollars it's plain that Jesse was just
considered a nuisance. A few years later - it's a different
story: The reward for his death or capture has placed Jesse
at the top of the outlaw heap in the Old West.

Pony Express Recruitment Poster
From
April 1860 to October 1861 the Pony Express was the fastest
way to get your message from the East to the West; and back
again. The "young, skinny, wiry fellows"
all had to weight less than 125 lbs, and had to cover the
1966 miles from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California
in ten days. Through every imaginable type of hardship they
rode across the States of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada, and California. In October, 1861 the Telegraph
Wire was completed to the West Coast and the Pony Express
was finished.

| The
Slim Jim Holster - the Classic side-arm holster
of the early west. |
Most
men - including Texas Rangers - who could afford a holster
would have used this style in the early days of the
western frontier. Shown here with a Remington 36 cal.
black powder pistol, with a 7 1/2" barrel. Holster
above is a left draw and can be worn on the left hip,
on the right for a cross draw or on the right for a
right handed "Twist" or "Cavalry"
or "Hickok" draw. Shown plain - no adornment
- in a deep saddle brown color. Our Holsters are Top
Quality - made for life-long use. We will custom make
to accommodate the make and calibre of your side arm.

Some
Old West Personalities just refuse to fade into
the history books. Men like Wild Bill Hickok (or
Hickock - depending on which reference book you
use) , Buffalo Bill Cody, George Armstrong Custer
and the US 7th Cavalry have more acclaim now - then
they did when alive. And they were dang famous when
they walked the Old West.

Cowboy Hats
from The Last Best West
In today's world of depleting Ozone
and the rise of melanoma and skin cancer - everyone
needs a good hat to shield their face and neck
from the harmful effects of the sun. What could
be more timeless and useful than a fine fur-felt
Cowboy Hat? It will keep your face and neck in
constant shade - regardless of the position of
the sun, and your eyes and lips will say thankee-thankee.
It'll be your friend for life and will age just
as gracefully as you!
We'll
give you what you want.
Made
to your Specifications. If you don't see what
you want - send us a picture - and we'll make
our version of that hat.
Longfellow
researched the designs based on historical photos
and original mail order catalogues from the late
1800's and the early decades of the 20th Century.
Of particular help was the Smithsonian Website,
the Library, and the archives of the Glenbow Museum
in Calgary. And of course those great Hollywood
Westerns.
