Title: Jessie James Cave Post by: craig on May 13, 2010, 01:42:43 pm a few weeks ago i had the pleasure of hunting on a really nice ranch here in oklahoma. i had always heard there was a cave on the place well we found it and got some really cool pitures. the date is 1874 with J. James name on the wall. the walls are covered with old dates and names. the cave is about 10' tall by 30' wide and about 60' deep..

If only those cave walls could talk! I have always been fascinated with caves and did a lot of caving when I was a kid in North Alabama and Tennessee. Thanks for sharing. Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: Cutter Bay Kennels on May 13, 2010, 03:50:46 pm Nice. Thank you for sharing.

I am pretty sure I have been there and think I recognise that outlaw in the back ground, only a few of them in this country have them Taco hats and a stache like he does :o If that's the same place weird things have happen out there at night :-X

Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: aladatrot on May 14, 2010, 01:18:31 pm Yeah, if I am going to forge antique photos, I need for folks to take off the shades...
Cheers M Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: sfboarbuster on May 16, 2010, 07:11:34 pm Thats pretty neat, I was just watching a show on the history channel today Cowboys and Outlaws and it was on Jeese James.
They were in caves up in Kansas with that same sort of writing and such Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: craig on May 16, 2010, 07:41:18 pm Mandi,, thats cool.. you are just too crafty...
sf was the name the same J. James or was it spelled out ? Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: sfboarbuster on May 16, 2010, 07:48:03 pm Craig, it was mostly just his initials, but on the inside of the caves the walls would be slap covered with writing.
Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: craig on May 16, 2010, 08:05:06 pm thats the same way this caves walls were , there were all kinds of names and dates. it took us about 30 min to find J James name.
Title: Re: Jessie James Cave Post by: aladatrot on May 17, 2010, 12:33:24 pm That is incredibly cool. Do you remember the earliest dated signature?
I am a history nut, and love all things old. That said, my favorite era to learn about was the old west post civil war but before 1900. I just love the old outlaws - Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Daltons, etc. I also love to hear about the lady outlaws and standouts - The Great Western, Lottie Deno, Cattle Kate, and Belle Starr. I have been to tombstone and Lincoln, NM. That old stuff just intrigues me. Craig, I can send you those "old" photos as actual photographs for framing if you want to email me the original photo files. May look cool in an antique frame. Cheers M |
