Re the Picture ....

All I know is that these pictures were a BIG DEAL. A once in a lifetime kinda thing.

And ... this picture was taken in the 1890s when one of Ed Fallin's sons was getting married in, or near, Gainesville, Texas
(Texarkana area more or less). The whole family went by wagon down there for the wedding. All the way from Simmon's Switch Arkansas (between Augusta and Jacksonport ... near present day McCrory, Arkansas) all the way to Gainesville Texas.

My great Aunt had some copies of the originals ... our family's home had burned ... but someone contacted other relatives (apparently copies were made when they first took them... (from the negatives? not sure about the tech back then)

But ... on the pictures that my great Aunt Doris Fallin (she was born in 1916) had, ... it says "Gainesville, Texas"

There is another picture too that looks like Ed Fallin has rope scars where he had been horse dragged (by the Yankees?)
The horse dragged story is a story that has never been confirmed.

So, anyway ... that picture is post wartime ... but it does show one of the Confederate Veterans of Arkansas on one of his Horses.
But no ... it is not a war era picture at all ... this is about 30 years after the war. Still, I am fortunate to even have this today.
