HENRY NEWTON BROWN AND BEN WHEELER

CHECK OUT OUR WILLIAM BONNEY VIDEO .

This tintype photo is of Henry Newton Brown and Ben Wheeler . Brown rode with Billy the Kid. He is holding a pistol in the tintype. Both, he and Wheeler were killers. Brown killed more people than Billy The Kid ever did. We had help from the Kansas State Historical Society while researching this tintype. . Brown had a large facial mark on his chin that we found on both the KSHS photo and the Medicine Lodge photograph. He also has the exact body language in both our photo and the Medicine lodge photo. Both of these men died at Medicine Lodge.
