with imprint of E.D. Keller of Helena, Montana on recto and verso, with inked Sincerely yours JX Beidler on recto. John X. Beidler (1831-1890) was born in Pennsylvania and migrated West to Kansas before the Civil War. Siding with John Brown's border ruffians, he left Kansas for Texas when Brown went to Harper's Ferry, and eventually settled in Virginia City, Montana in 1863. According to Thrapp (1988:89) ....he gravitated towards the Montana Vigilante Committee and became famous among them. Unlike many who sought anonymity, Beidler apparently basked in the attention, and was prominent in his pursuit and elimination of desperadoes. Provenance: The Mike Butler Collection of Western Photography
