Old West outlaw (1844–1916) associated with Jesse James as a leader of the James-Younger Gang, who eventually turned from a life of crime to Wild West shows and public speaking. ANS in pencil, handwritten on the back of an off-white 3.75 x 2.25 complimentary card for the Nat Reiss Carnival Company, issued in another hand to “Mr. Younger,” no date. Younger’s note reads, in part: “Pleas[e] Pass the…Miss Gold Bennett and Oblige Your friend, Cole Younger.” The front is ostensibly signed by the carnival’s founder. In fine condition, with a tear to the bottom edge touching the extreme front of Younger’s last name. Nat Reiss headed a family-friendly carnival based in Spokane, Washington, which operated primarily west of the Mississippi in the early 20th century.
