Vintage Hunk of the day - COWBOY! Aka Land Pirate. His hips do not lie. 1890. They don’t make ‘em like the used to. He’s got mad swag. I think his name must have been Constantine McGruff.
Real diary post coming later.

ca. 1875-85, [tintype portrait of California sharpshooter Lillian Smith, armed with a Stevens Tip-Up rifle]
Smith was hired by “Buffalo Bill” Cody to appear with his Wild West troop in 1886. Almost immediately, she was seen to be Annie Oakley’s rival. During Cody’s tour of Europe the following summer, the rivalry became public over perceived slights by European royalty. Smith left the show in 1889, and faded into obscurity.
