   All the Federales say
   They could have had him any day
   They only let him slip away
   Out of kindness, I suppose

   They look so thin compared to current men.

   Well composed picture. I kind of wonder if the photographer set them up for it. I also wonder why the fire pit is a line and not a circle. I also wonder how far away their guns are right now.
   I also wonder if the 2nd guy from the right is like "wanna see how I shine my shoes?"

   I have so many questions.

   My grandfather was on that expedition. I do not see him in the photo, however.

   Looks like Patton on the right of the standing guy. Is this a stock photo? No offense if it is, it is cool, but it is odd.
