Gerald Hertslet and Thomas Beakbane’s boat, circa 1890s.
Notice the wood piled up and the stove in the center. It’s unknown who is in the boat, although historians suspect one of the men is Beakbane.

Chester Johnson He sang the theme song to “Have gun will travel." Worked with Johnny Cash and I used to listen to his radio broadcast out of Wichita, KS not too long ago when there was real country music. He knew and shared lots of interesting stories of the west and western music.
