This photo was taken in Twin Buttes, Az. and undated. There are no windows in this saloon and the only woman in the photo is very casually dressed. Of the eight men present, four are visibly armed. The two men on the right are armed with large bore carbines, one is holding up his shot glass. The two men on the left in light colored shirts are armed with revolvers that appear to be Colt Peacemakers (SAA) with 4 3/4 in. barrels. The large man in the center of the photo keeps his Pit Bull on a short leash. These hombres were expecting trouble. It was well understood that alcohol and dehydration made men crazy and a single woman only made it more fun. Please see photo for details. Matted backing; photo at 6 in. X 8 in. Light spotting good condition.
