Thanks, but not quite. I think there is an image from the front view of him screaming and losing his sh#t. That's a good photo though.

Although that photo wasn't taken by C. S. Fly, as it happens I have just had a few days exploring the south east of Arizona (hiking the Chiricahua National Monument, visiting Bisbee and Tombstone and then touring the extraordinary Kartchner Caverns). Whilst Tombstone has clearly become geared to the tourist market, the OK Corral site actually has some very interesting historical information including a gallery of photos taken by C. S. Fly. Based in Tombstone, in March 1886 he got wind of a meeting that had been organised between Geronimo and the head of the Arizona Department General George Crook pertaining to Geronimo's surrender.
Fly was able to take a number of photos over the three days of negotiations capturing the only known images taken of American Indians during wartime.
(As it happens, the famous "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" - which actually took place near to but NOT at the Corral - occured adjacent to C. S. Fly's boarding house where Doc Holliday was staying).
