HENRY NEWTON BROWN AND BEN WHEELER

THIS TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPH IS OF HENRY NEWTON BROWN AND BEN WHEELER . BROWN RODE WITH BILLY THE KID. HE HAS A PISTOL IN HIS HAND IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. BOTH HE AND WHEELER WERE KILLERS. I RESEARCHED THAT BROWN ACTUALLY KILLED MORE PEOPLE THAN BILLY THE KID EVER DID . WE HAD SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THE KANSAS STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WHILE RESEARCHING THESE MEN. THEY SENT US SOME IMAGES ON DISK WHICH HELPED US POSITIVELY IDENTIFY THESE TWO . BROWN HAS A LARGE MOLE OR SCAR ON HIS CHIN IN OUR TINTYPE. STUDYING THE PHOTOS FROM THE KANSAS STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY WE COULD FIND THIS FACIAL FEATURE ON THE MEDICINE LODGE PHOTO AND THE SHERIFF AND DEPUTY PHOTO . BOTH THESE MEN DIED AT MEDICINE LODGE KANSAS.
