    This photo is more special then you think, because its proof of life after death.. Morgan Earp was assassinated the year before in Tombstone.

    There are many issues with that photo..

    You mean like the fact that Butch Cassidy would have been 17 years old and Teddy Roosevelt 25 years old??? Yes, many falsehoods in this photo.

    Hell, that is part of the problem with that photo.. What year was the photo taken.. and where??? No one really knows who assigned that date or location.. But Theodore Roosevelt actually could fit in this photo because even at 25, Theodore Roosevelt did visit Montana for 3 weeks in the fall of 1883. Now the issue is who wrote the name as "Teddy". That nickname will not come into being until the 1890s. Here is a peek at the photo as it looks.

    The fact that someone named number 3 as "Teddy" shows that the photo was not dated in the moment of taking.. But sometime long after.
    (Thats if the 1883 date is factual)
