## Photograph date

1940–1978; Galt description: circa 1978

## Date basis

Matched visually to Galt accession 19841071037. Galt's Date Range is 1940 -1978; its Scope and Content says circa 1978. Prairie Towns labels the same scene 1929. That conflicting secondary date is preserved as source metadata, not adopted as the photograph date.

## Identification in the community history book

The same photograph appears in [*Heritage of the High Country*](/books#heritage-of-the-high-country) (Del Bonita Historical Society, 1981), printed p. 46 / PDF scan 60. Its caption reads: “Duel Secretan and Scotty Train in front of station house in Whiskey Gap.” The book caption does not date the photograph or explicitly assign the names left to right. It corroborates the names already recorded in Galt’s catalogue; the original catalogue description and the exact downloaded image remain unchanged.
