The colourised poster "Viva Che" adorning many a student wall in the late 60s/early 70s is more iconic then the original photo...

Weren't a lot of those faked?

No, not faked. That IS the building of the Empire State Building.


Do remember that Boston was from the original 6 division and St Louis was the entrant from the division that was all expansion teams when the NHL doubled in size from 6 to 12 teams. The West division was Pittsburgh, St Louis, Minnesota (in Twin Cities), California (in Oakland/SF), Los Angeles & Philadelphia.

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).
