It's amazing to this time capsule of the old West and how it really was, as opposed to the slick Hollywood's depictions. Thanks always for sharing with us this amazing historic treasure. 👍
When I watch the photos and see some of life in California from that era, I think about them of today. Santa Barbara is now one of California’s more elite cities to live in, very expensive, tourist attractions.
The great fascination of the west from no.1 the pistol!
Opposed to the Holly wood westerns I haven,t seen any revolver and pistol in the belts of any depicted cowboy.

Guns were expensive for people in those days most needed a shotgun or rifle more than a handgun for hunting and defense. When I inherited my family's old guns from Texas they were all double barrel shotguns and hunting rifles. My father did have one pocket pistol that he always carried. He was a WWII veteran flying 52 missions in B17 bombers.

Fort Worth was incorporated in 1874 and so by the time this photo was taken (1899) large brick/stone buildings had been built. But even in 1899 Fort Worth was still an influential part of the wild west, for example the famous "Fort Worth Five" photograph of the Wild Bunch was taken in Fort Worth in 1900.

@@legacyofthewest ahh, so it is a famous building at that time, no wonder. thanks for the info!
How can I know if they’re wearing guns, they’re all sitting down? Dah😮
Hollywood westerns never dressed as these real photos. In the movies everyone was a gun toting tough guy in vest and Stetson. Not authentic at all.
Well ive got 99 didn't know that their are a hundred
