Captain Jack: 1915
Oct. 13, 1915. "Crawford, Jack, Captain, in costume." John Wallace "Captain Jack" Crawford, celebrated Wild West storyteller and "Poet Scout" of the Civil War, two years before his death. 5x7 glass negative by Arnold Genthe. View full size.
He has a certain twinkle
His eyes convey a spark of mischief, they twinkle even in black and white.
The Real Deal
Unlike many a Western "hero," Captain Jack was a genuine (and much admired) participant in the deeds of daring-do he so entertainingly recounted to enthralled audiences in the early 20th Century.
Wow, Interesting Fella!
Would have loved to have heard his stories!
