Carte de visite signed by Oakley for friend Ed Goodman, Buffalo
Bill's nephew, who was part of the Wild West show
Photograph signed: "Annie Oakley". Sepia, 4½x6½ carte de
visite. Annie Oakley (1860-1926, born Phoebe Anne Moses in Darke
County, Ohio), was born to a Quaker family and began to shoot rabbits and quail
at age nine. Within five years, she was a breadwinner for her family as a
markswoman, and, at age 15, she saved her family's farm with income she had
earned from shooting game. On August 23, 1876, at age 16, Annie married
Frank Butler, a vaudeville performer who became her partner. Annie's
self-effacing personality (on and off stage) made her a popular performer. In
1885, the Butlers joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show, where Annie was a
star for 17 years. The five-foot-tall Oakley got her name "Little Sure Shot"
from Sitting Bull and used it in her promotional materials. In 1901, she and
her husband decided to retire from public life. However, shooting was in her
blood, and the Butlers continued to make appearances around the country. Age did
not appear to diminish her skills, but Oakley was seriously injured in an
automobile accident in 1921. Although she did not think she had long to live at
that time, by 1924 she was again performing.
The adventerous author signs "Ned Buntline, Ready for Game" on a photograph of
himself holding hunting rifle.
Photograph signed: "'Ned Buntline,'/Ready for Game." Sepia, 4¼ x 6¼ overall, image 3¾ x
5¼ (one surface). Studio photograph by Sarony of New York, signed with his penname.
A nautical term for the rope at the bottom of a square sail, the name Buntline was adopted from
his youthful navy days. Soldier, adventurer, and writer Edward Z.C. Judson (1823-1886) had
developed his sensational literary style in the 1840s, when he began submitting
exaggerated accounts of his adventures to "Knickerbocker Magazine". Arrested, shot at
and even hung once (someone cut the rope), in 1869, Judson "discovered" Western scout
William F. Cody, nicknamed him Buffalo Bill and exploited his adventures in books
and plays. Earlier, Judson had helped organize the anti-foreign, anti-labor American
Party, better known, thanks to Judson, as the Know-Nothing Party (1850-1856). By the
1870s, with hunting and fishing as his primary pastimes, the shooting, wild author of nearly
400 novellas, termed "dime novels", had settled down with his fourth wife in Stamford,
New York.

fear I'll forget it as I find it is quite easy for me to forget things now. I am indeed sorry
that the book doesn't sell more readily than it does for it really is a meritorious
volume. I will call Mr. Price's attention to what you say regarding his writing from time
to time stories from the book and believe as you do that will help its sale immensely.
What is required to stimulate the sale of a book is advertising and unless that is done
there is little demand for a book no matter how interesting it is.…"

William Frederick Cody earned the name "Buffalo Bill" for killing thousands of
buffalo as a hired hunter in 1867 and 1868. Cody had begun his wild west career herding
cattle at age nine. Five years later, he became the Pony Express' youngest rider. Throughout the
Civil War, Cody worked as a government scout, extracting from life and the West all it had to
offer. His western notoriety grew with his adventures, including those during the Sioux War, in
which he purportedly fought a duel with Chief Yellow Hand. Cody's theatrical career was
launched that same year with his re-enactments of such Indian battles. By 1883, he formed his
first Wild West spectacle, becoming a master showman who toured internationally until
1903.

Rare pictograph painting on buffalo hide by the Blackfoot Indian Chief.
Pictograph on buffalo hide. Roughly 12½ x 5½. The Blackfoot Indian Chief painted in
pictograph form, events, and scenes from a Plains Indian's point of view. This piece of Buffalo
hide, painted on the tanned side, came from a complete hide blanket which retained the “Fur”
on one side for warmth and the pictographs on the other side for decoration. Shown among the
pieces recovered from the blanket, are scenes of buffaloes and horses, some of which include a
“Red Man” to represent the Indian. Pictographs of American Plains Indians are generally very
simple in structure and self-explanatory. The use of natural colors represents true symbols, while
unnatural colors have a special meaning. The Plains Indians were very graphic and used other
forms of picture writing such as in sign language, smoke signals, trail signs, language feathers and
blankets. A blanket that was painted or woven with special designs was often an
autobiographical account of its creator.
Blackfoot Indian Chief Two Guns White Calf (1872-1934) frequently posed for artists and

was established in 1855 for the southernmost branch of the tribe.
34x35½ buckskin, signed by an impressive collection of Western
artists in the 1970s, triple matted and custom framed for display. Some of the
artists have added drawings in a Native American theme. Many signers have strong
connections with the State of Montana and the Blackfoot Nation.
Original Art signed: Buckskin bearing nearly 100 signatures. An
unknown artist has drawn a large teepee in the center of the buckskin. Many of
the signers have embellished their autograph with Western-themed drawings
(teepees, horse heads, cattle brands, etc.). Some have dated their signatures,
with the range of dates extending from 1970 to 1977. Many of the signers have
a close connection with the state of Montana. The signers include the
following: OLAF WIEGHORST (1899-1988), born in Jutland, Denmark, is best
known for his poignant portrayals of the American West. Wieghorst's paintings
have sold for more than $450,000. and his signed Lithographs for up to $12,000.
His most famous work, Native Madonna, was published as a lithograph in 1972.
Sioux painter and sculptor EARL EDER (b. 1944) has been a key
figure in contemporary Indian art since the 1960s. His works are included in the
collections of many museums, and of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington.

Manuscript DS: "J.H. Selman", 1p, 7¾x5¼. Shackelford County, Texas, 1880 September
10. In full: "Personally appeared before me John Selman who on oath says that the allegations in
the foregoing petition he believes to be true." Also signed: "W.C. Pace/CDCSC". In full: "Sworn

restrained of his liberty by H.C. Jacobs sheriff of Shackelford County Texas…." Selman lived on
both sides of the law. His career included cattle rustling, robbery and murder -- and arresting
cattle rustlers, robbers and murderers. Three months before this document was signed, he
was arrested in Fort Davis, Texas just two days after his second marriage. His brother and
fellow outlaw Tom Cat Selman had been lynched when they were taken into custody, but
John was transferred back to Shackleford County for trial. He had lived there several years
earlier and had connected with gunfighter John Larn. Together, they rustled cattle and robbed.

Rare sepia-toned photo of a middle-aged Younger, one of Quantrill's Raiders during
the American Civil War, and a member of the James-Younger gang.
Inscribed photograph mount signed "To/W. A. Bell./Yours Truly/Cole Younger". B/w
sepia-toned, 4¼x7¼ photo affixed to an 8x12 sheet of brown cardstock. Younger
(1844-1916) was one of Quantrill's Raiders, a notorious band of American Civil War
guerillas, as well as a member of the James-Younger Gang with Frank and Jesse
James. Younger, a Missourian, joined William Quantrill after Union-supported bandits from
Kansas killed his father. He participated in Quantrill's raid on Lawrence, Kansas, one of
the worst atrocities of the war, in which about 180 people were killed. After the war,
Younger became an outlaw with brothers James, John and Robert, later joining the James
brothers, who had also been members of Quantrill's Raiders. He may have felt forced into
crime; a new state constitution passed after the Civil War severely curtailed the rights of former
Confederate sympathizers. Younger robbed trains and banks and murdered policemen
and civilians from at least 1868 until Sept. 7, 1876. On that day, the James-Younger Gang
tried to rob the First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota.
Extremely rare signed postcard photo of her dressed as an Indian!
Postcard Photograph inscribed and signed: "Annie Oakley as a Sioux/Maiden
admires her/new head gear./A Merry Christmas/to Laforrds & Family".
Sepia, 5½x3½. Annie Oakley (1860-1926) was born Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee
in Ohio. She was the sixth of eight children. At the age of nine she began
to shoot rabbits and quail and was almost a dead shot from the first. Within
five years, she was a breadwinner for her family as a markswoman. In 1876, at
age 16, she married Frank Butler, a vaudeville performer who became her
partner. Annie's self-effacing personality (on and off stage) made her a
popular performer. In 1885, the Butlers joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West
Show. Annie, a star with the show for 17 years, charmed Kings and Queens.
The five-foot-tall Oakley got her name "Little Sure Shot" from Lakota Sioux
Chief Sitting Bull, who was briefly a part of the show in 1885, and used
it in her promotional materials. In 1901, she was severely injured in
a railroad wreck that temporarily paralyzed her. But she made a sensational
comeback in the next two decades. She and Butler were childless, but she
supported 18 orphan girls. Lightly toned and worn at corners. Otherwise,
fine condition.

the Spring three shows. San Francisco July, Aug. Sep. Then Southern Cal. Oct. And if all goes
well we could clean up a wagon load of money." William Frederick Cody (1846-1917) earned
the name "Buffalo Bill" for killing thousands of buffalo as a hired hunter in 1867 and
1868. Cody had begun his Wild West career herding cattle at age nine. Five years later, he
became the Pony Express' youngest rider.
Plains Indian "peace pipe", an heirloom given by Younger to his close
friend Harry Hoffman, who attended Cole at his death bed. This well-used
Minnesota red pipestone comes from Hoffman's collection, with a notarized
statement signed by him.
Ephemera, unsigned. Catlinite pipestone "peace pipe", each
separated piece roughly 8x3½ (due to length of handle), with the much-handled
patina of an authentically used pipe (very different from the clean surfaces
found on souvenir pipes). This easily worked rock type, drawn from quarries near
the Pipestone River in Minnesota, was in use by several Plains Indian nations
for making ceremonial pipes. "Catlinite" is a descriptive term applied to the
stone since American painter George Catlin wrote about it in 1832.
Accompanied by Typed Statement signed: "Harry C. Hoffman", in
full: "one Indian peace pipe, given to Harry C. Hoffman by Cole Young",
7¾x4¾. Notarized by Charles Wright at Oxford, Ohio, September 21, 1948.

"Lucky Lindy" talks about flying Jennies and why he dislikes reunions,
ceremonies and dinners.
TLS: "Charles", 1p, 8½x11. Germany,
1963 March 19. To Joe. On blue light-weight stationery. In full:
"This is an awfully late answer to your January letter. My mail is always
hopelessly stacked up, literally, and I have taken taken (sic) some of it abroad
with me in the hope of catching up a bit at least with the letters I want most
to write. It is really good of you to invite me to the reunion of the 110th
Observation Squadron, and I do have a very close feeling toward the Squadron --
I often think of the old days flying 'Jennies' at Lambert Field. But Joe, I
think reunions are for those who like them (and may God bless them). To me,
reunions are pretty awful; they always detract from qualities of memory which I
prefer to leave to the past where I think they belong and have the greatest
value. Also, I like to live quietly and to concentrate on my work and interests.
I realized, many years ago, that this kind of life was simply not compatible
with ceremonies and dinners, for one led to another and there seemed to be no
end. With the exception of two in Washington, which came under the 'private'
category, and which were more or less unavoidable, it is now close to a decade
since I have attended a formal dinner.…"
The only surviving Dalton Gang member writes a letter to a publisher regarding facts
surrounding his supposed shooting from the hip and the use of two guns.
Typed letter signed: "Emmett Dalton", black ink, 1p, 8½ x 11. Hollywood, California, June
15, 1935. To Mr. C.W. Mowre/Dell Publications/New York City. In full: "Dear Mr.
Mowre:/Thank you for the two all western magazines you sent me last week. You
certainly gave me a large spriad (sic) this time. Its all appreciated if you never get paid.
"Chuch" told me that you had sent him a fan letter, last issue, giving me the devil for
saying the Pine Pinyons were on the Salt River, etc. Then, last week Mr. McBride, who
works on the L.A. Times here called my hand for saying in the last all western about
faning a gun, shooting from the hip and the two-gun man. He said "I thought you claimed
there was never such a man as that." Of course, he was a very good friend of mine and I
very easily talked him out of "When The Daltons Rode" and told him to use it as a
reference. I was too sick to read the articles at that time but you will not find any of that
two-gun bunk, shooting from the hip or gun faning, any where in "When The Daltons
Rode.
A signed card and piece of fabric from Earhart's original Lockheed Vega 5B.
Collection comprised of:
1.) Card signed “Amelia Earhart”. 3½ x 1½, toned. Small smudge at “t”. Fine condition. 2.)
Fabric tile, 2 inches x 2 inches affixed to a 13x18 poster. This swatch of fabric is from the
original Lockheed Vega 5B flown by Amelia Earhart when she became the first women to make
a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic (May 20-21, 1932). Earhart made the 3260-kilometer
flight from Harbor Grace, newfoundland to Culmore, Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 14
hours 54 minutes. On August 24-25, 1932, in the same Vegas, Earhart flew from Loas
Angeles, California to Newark New Jersey covering the 3940 kilometers in 19 hours 5 minutes.
This was the first solo nonstop transcontinental flight by a woman. The Lockheed Vegas is now
part of the collection of the National Air and Space Museum. Earhart established other
aviation records that did not include "woman", such as first Hawaii-to-mainland solo
and first Mexico City-to-New York flight (both 1935). In 1937, Earhart was lost over the
Pacific in an attempted around-the-world flight. Framed to an overall size of 28¾ x 26¼.
