Shannon

Shannon and Callahan

He wears a Confederate linen "battle shirt", Confederate issue brogans, and under his chaps, linen drawers to match the shirt. In his holster, he carries a Colt model 1873 single action revolver with hard rubber grips, and he has looped his left arm around a Winchester model 1873 carbine in a saddle scabbard. His slouch is so arrogantly sexy, I know of no other 19th century image like it. I thought he need a name. The first that came to mind was "Shannon", as in the Grateful Dead song. The second was "Callahan." But maybe the paint horse is named Shannon, and the man is Callahan. Maybe the horse is Callahan, and the sexy guy is Shannon. Your choice.
