... who is this (taken in 1923 when he was 75). Not the typical photo of this famous person (taken in Los Angeles). Man did this guy wander the west.

Dang... that's good. Still, I won't formally spill the beans unless someone sings the song...

BTW, I didn't know that he ran a saloon in Seattle (before or after, not sure which, he went to Alaska for a time). Still, most know him from the SW.

The man! Yep. There is a fascinating, and lengthy, Wikipedia page on him. I didn't know he did so much wandering.
He spent the latter days of his life in L.A.

In the movie Tombstone, one of my favorite scenes is when Wyatt (Kurt Russell) walks over to the Billy-bad boy at the card table and says "I just wanted to let you know you're sitting in my chair." "No need to go healed to get the bulge on a drub like you." "You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?" (Some language)

 
Fun. He sure was involved in a lot of get-rich-quick schemes.
