I love archival photographs. They really give a great glimpse into the way things were and not the the fictionalized nonsense of Hollywood and TV.

Good God you can almost feel the wild west rise out of history and slap you.
Good stuff.

Tremendous photos. Thanks for posting them.

Never had heard of O'Sullivan. Ansel Adams predominates on the "Antiques Roadshow.":lol:

Must have been a life tough beyond belief.

Much of the West still looks like that. It is breathtakingly beautiful, and a LOT of it is still very much unspoiled.

Everything looks the same except global warming has changed

No liberalman, Global warming has not changed any of this. Get real for a change, instead of just spouting your propaganda.

Really amazing to see how far we have come since 1872 to today 2012.. only about 150 years.
