A member of the 10th US Cavalry poses with three Apache scouts, 1885.

  1. Comanches were the one's that were feared. Apaches et al couldn't conquer them and the US government finally did. Quanah Parker, Quahada Comanche Chief, retired in Cache, Oklahoma region west of Lawton on his Star Ranch, where he died in 1911. The last truly great Indian Chief of the Quahadah Comanche tribe. Better than any Apache.

  2. It’s a photo not a pissing contest, like it for what it is.

  3. We're getting close to the time when white, black, yellow, red and brown people will inter-marry, coalesce and crush the real enemy: The mentally ill amongst us who are Communists.

    1. You would be an interesting person to have a few beers with for a deeper dive.

  5. He looks like he just realized the one scout is cocking his rifle and the other is loading his! " We cool, right guys?"

  6. The standing scout is still carrying a percussion revolver in 1885. Interesting.

  7. I have a fully functional Trap Door Springfield like that hanging over my home office door. My fear in life is that after I'm gone somebody is going to take some of the high pressure 45-70 ammo I have for my Guide Gun and fire it in the Trap Door.

  8. Isn't that Eddie Murphy? Perhaps in a sequel to Blazing Saddles?
