Here is an antique photograph showing two men who look like rogues. There is no ID on the image, or any information, so it is impossible to know what these two are up to........they have just held up the bank, bought themselves each a new hat and a new fur coat, and now they want their image taken to immortalize their accomplishments?

We sure did that, speculate.
Alright - you guys are good! There is a mark. In fact if it were a bear it would bite me! It says Brandon Clyde, Kas. Would this be Kansas? I guess the photographers name is Brandon and he was in Clyde, KAS.
