Rare 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of the deceased James–Younger Gang members Bill Chadwell and Clell Miller, imprinted on the reverse, “Bill Chadwell, Clell Miller, The Bank Robbers killed at Northfield. Photographed by E. F. Everitt, Mankato, Minn.” In fine condition. During the gang’s robbery attempt at First National Bank of Northfield on September 7, 1876, the two outlaws were shot and killed by responding townspeople, who then propped them up in chairs to take this photograph. Also wounded in the gunfighter were Frank James and Cole Younger. A decidedly unusual piece.
