Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated May 14, 1962 reads, "When these three hombres, from left, William S. Hart, Tom Mix and Hoot Holland, go a-jinglin' into the Last Branch (Long Chance?) saloon, the first thing they do is check their shootin' arns [sic] and draw a bead on any newcomer in that thar smoke-filled room. Three of the toughest desperadoes ever to ride the Hootowl Trail, Wild William, Terrible Tom and Dangerous Dave (the Terror of the Panhandle) hate nothin' more than a marshal or a low-down, gun-slingin' outlaw - depending on which side they're on at the time."; See images #00130711 through #00130716 for all photos in this series.
