File:DodgeCityPoliceCommission.jpg
Summary
Dodge City Peace Commission, early June, 1883. This file is actually uploaded under an incorrect name: *police* commission, not peace commission. But the men photographed went to Dodge threatening a war, so the title of "peace commission" (later applied to the photo) was originally tongue-in-cheek. And doubly ironic, since the presence of this much force did indeed historically result in a peaceful resolution, with no violence. According to a biography of Wyatt Earp by Casey Tefertiller, the photo was taken in the Conkling Studio at Dodge City in June 1883 and first appeared in the National Police Gazette on 21 July, 1883.
From left to right, standing: W.H. Harris, Luke Short, Bat Masterson, W.F. Petillon. Seated: Charlie Bassett, Wyatt Earp, Frank McLain (possibly "M. C. Clark"; see <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://dodgecitypeacecommission.com/">Dodge City Peace Commission</a>), and Neal Brown
It's a "published pre-1923" historical photo, so the release should read that. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sbharris" class="extiw" title="en:User:Sbharris">Sbharris</a> 21:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
