Based on what I know about the family in Kansas, at least during that period they seemed to have reached a decent level of affluence. It's hard to believe that images wouldn't have been taken during that time, although they would be hard to identify due to his age. I would prefer to see an image of Billy that was taken sometime between Febuary and July of 1878. My primary interest in BTK is as a warrior during the Lincoln County War rathat than his career as an outlaw. I would really like to see an image of him posing with someone like Fred Waite, who had a very unusual and distinctive appearance and for whom several other images exist.
