Mounted Albumen, 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", warm chocolately tones, IDd in the negative as "Parson Jim". The handsome cowboy has both pistols drawn, his rifle at his feet. There is a presentation in pencil on the reverse, Monterrey, Cal. New Year '90. To my friend C.L. Mason from Taylor Jahms(sp?). Cowboy James Martin was nicknamed Parson Jim because he carried a Bible in his saddlebags. However, Martin turned out to be anything but godly. He killed Cocheta, the beautiful Creek Indian wife of Abilene Marshal Ed Bright, and later shot two cowboys who worked for rancher John Chisum. Then he fled to Indian Territory.
