EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of William "Bill". Tilghman, a prominent lawman of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for his unwavering integrity, Tilghman served as Chief of Police in Oklahoma City, Deputy US Marshal, Oklahoma State Senator, and Marshal of Cromwell, Oklahoma. Alongside Henry Thomas and Chris Madsen, he formed the renowned trio known as the Three Guardsmen. In this portrait captured by an American photographer from a private collection, Tilghman exudes strength and determination. His distinctive moustache frames his face as he proudly dons his uniform with a star and crescent badge symbolizing his role as a peace officer in Oklahoma. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of this frontier lawman who played an instrumental role in maintaining order during tumultuous times. Tragically, Tilghman's story came to an abrupt end when he was shot by fellow law enforcement officer Wiley Lynn in 1924. Despite this untimely demise, Bill Tilghman's legacy lives on through photographs like these that immortalize him as one of America's most iconic figures from the Old West era. This historic image captures not only the essence of Bill Tilghman but also serves as a testament to the bravery and dedication displayed by law enforcers throughout American history. It is an invaluable piece that transports us back to a time when justice was upheld through grit and honor on dusty streets
