Portland, Oregon at the Oregon Zoo, Mikhail, I think. He is an Amur Tiger (or Siberian Tiger) and is an endangered species.

Original Envelope from Outlaw Frank James' Widow - 1915 -- Reached 10,000+ views March 2011

nobody@flickr.com (Pixel Packing Mama) — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:24:28 -0800

Mrs. Frank James, widow of outlaw Frank James, is writing in 1915 from Kearney, Missouri, to a family friend, Colonel Kit Chinn. Postmark is Excelsior Springs, Missouri. This letter is written in ink, and has a watermark on linen paper. I believe the watermark says HyTone Linen. There were two letters from her, both saved in the same envelope, which I will be posting very soon. The second letter which will be posted right next to this post, is only in pencil and on lined tablet type paper, but it has more "meat" to the letter, ending with her personal thoughts that are not often found in a history book. So, I like the ink and linen paper better for quality and elegance; but I like the pencil and tablet paper letter better for its content.
The reason she was writing to Col. "Kit" Chinn was she had promised when Frank James died, that she would send him a copy of the news article. She did send it, and I'll be posting pictures of it too. Apparently Frank James and Col. Chinn had some connection in Quantrill's Raiders. If someone has a list of the known Raiders, perhaps they could tell me.
I just found out that Frank James real full name was Alexander Franklin James. I didn't know that until tonight.

Some additional notes: Letter is addressed to Mr. C. Chinn, Oakville, Napa County, California and has a 2 cent stamp. Post mark was Excelsior springs, Missouri in 1915. I have known of this Mr. Chinn as Colonel "Kit" Chinn. I do not know for sure if Mr. C. Chinn was his son, or grandson maybe. Or perhaps his real first name started with letter "C" but his nickname was "Kit". I found out later on after writing this description up, that Kit was often times used as a nickname for Christopher. That would make sense. I do know Colonel Chinn appears in history, often to do with Kentucky, with race horses, and with machine guns. Next picture will show orders from the Adjutant General of Kentucky (dated 1902) with an embossed seal for Col. Chinn to travel to Harrodsburg, Kentucky and back.

AN EXPLANATION IN MORE DEPTH ABOUT HOW I CAME TO OWN THESE PAPERS:
These are not news clippings that I copied at some library somewhere. These were actually mailed by the widow of Frank James to their family friend, Col. Kit Chinn. Mrs. Frank James lived in Missouri, and the Chinns lived in Oakville, Napa County, California. My parents lived in the Napa Valley for several years, back about 42 years ago, and they socialized and were friends of the descendants of Col. Chinn. They happened to mention at a party that their daughter (me) was interested in Jesse James. The Chinns volunteered to give the letter with the clippings to my parents to give to me. I have had it all these years. I tried one time to donate it to the Jesse James Bank Museum in Liberty, Missouri, but was told they had way more stuff than they needed and, "No thanks!"
Later on, like maybe 15 to 20 years ago, it was a door opener to get some photocopies made that I wanted from the State Archives of Missouri. The papers I had helped them to make a connection between the James brothers (Frank & Jesse) and Quantrill's Raiders that they had been trying to cinch together for years. When I offered to donate them, their reluctance went from, from oh, we don't photocopy for people - it ruins the papers to, "How many photocopies would you like?
I am glad I have it. I feel like it is a piece of history, not just to have the news clipping, but to have what Frank James' widow said about the clippings in a letter.
P.S. I joined Find A Grave, both the group here on Flickr and the www.findagrave.com one, and found Mrs. Frank James' name was Ann Ralston James and I found her tombstone photograph. There is still another little interesting tidbit about Ann and her marriage to Frank which I will be trying to find, and post here.
