Will Miltimore was a Great American Cattle Drive cowboy from Oklahoma, as well as a member of the Texas Longhorn Association. This photo was taken in 1995 as part of the cattle drive; Will was listening to Annie Golightly as she sang cowboys songs in her trailer one rainy night in Wyoming.
Will was a rancher and had also worked in construction. He was born Aug. 22, 1937, in Glencoe, Oklahoma and passed away in April 2005 in Cleburne, Texas.

It is sad that the fat man and fat woman are no longer uncommon enough to be a circus freak.
Pictured is the interior of the Gem Theater in Deadwood, South Dakota, where Ella La Rue appeared in April 1877. Notice the boxes on the upper left side where patrons enjoyed trysts in privacy behind heavy curtains.
