Hammond, Potter, and Shuff- "3 Bad Men" photograph from VA. ca. 1800s
Hello- I have a picture that has fascinated me since I was a child- taken by B.A. Blakemore of Staunton, VA.
It shows three somewhat malevolent looking fellows, and underneath someone wrote "Hammond, Potter, and Shuff."
Underneath that, someone else (it seems) wrote "3 Bad Men."
All I know about it is that Potter was an ancestor of mine, and from the look of things he hung around with Mr. Hammond & Mr. Shuff. I have a nice scan of the picture, and will be happy to email it to anyone who is interested or who may be able to shed light on the identities of these fascinating fellows. A friend recently remarked that they look like members of "The Wild Bunch."
Feel free to email me @ [email protected] if you would like me to email you a scan of this photograph.
