This is a picture of a photo on the wall at Fort Smith National Historic Site in Arkansas.  We went there as part of a family reunion in 2007.  We had a great day with the family and all the cousins. 

About the photo; "Bill" is a outlaw that has just been captured by the sheriff (#4) and his possee.  As the photo was being taken, Bill was trying to get the sheriff's revolver out of his pocket.  Fortunalty for the rest of the people in the photo, he was unsucessful.

Fort Smith National Historic Site is right on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma, in fact it overlooks the Arkansas River that forms the border.  It has a nice museum, preserves an old west style courthouse, commissary and gallows, and has a nice grassy hill and picnic area.  While we were there, we saw a couple coming there to get married.  I would love to know what about the place made them decide to get married there.
