Featured in this lot is this John Wallace ("Captain Jack") Crawford (18471917), known as "The Poet Scout", was an American adventurer, educator, and author. "Captain Jack" was a master storyteller about the Wild West and is known in American history as one of the most popular performers in the late nineteenth century. His daring ride of 350 miles in six days to carry dispatches to Fort Laramie for the New York Herald, to tell the news of the great victory by Gen. George Crook against the village of Chief American Horse at the Battle of Slim Buttes during the Great Sioux War of 1876-1877, made him a national celebrity. There is a cabinet card and a real photo post card in this collection. The postcard shows a portrait photograph of Capt. Crawford in his wide brim scouting hat. The cabinet card shows a earlier photograph of Crawford with Gertie Granville photographed by Houseworth & Co. The condition of this real photo postcard and cabinet card is well preserved with some wear to the edges and browning to the backing and reverse side of the postcard but otherwise shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this cabinet card and real photo postcard is 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" and 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". The collective weight of this collection is U4oz.
