Look alikes -- two "mustangers" from Texas

Old Lorenzo in the etching on the left, from A.H. Abney’s “Rover” book published in 1875 in New York.

John Henry Lafferty on the right.  Cropped from photograph, supplied by Ben Lafferty of Leander, Texas, was likely made in 1892 (judging from the ages of children in the whole photo).  John Henry would have been only 33 years old at the time.

This man appears to be much older than 33 years.  Children in the photo (named and dated by Ben Lafferty) seem to be in the correct order and of the correct age.  This would likely have been made prior to the Maples murder by Jim Lafferty on the Dry Frio River at Reagan Wells.
