Photographer William Henry Jackson posed 14 men, including expedition leader Ferdinand Hayden, around a table in a field with the backdrop of Wyoming’s Red Buttes in 1870.

Timothy Peterson Gardner is an excellent author.. I highly recommend his book "To Hell on a Fast Horse - The story of Billy the Kid". The audio book is also very good.
