A buffalo hunter knocked a warrior off his horse from nearly a mile away. It was June 1874 at Adobe Walls, a trading post in the Texas Panhandle. At dawn, about 700 Comanche, Cheyenne and Kiowa warriors charged the camp. Quanah Parker rode with them. They planned to catch the hunters asleep. But a cracked ridgepole had woken the camp early. 28 men and one woman held three buildings and fired heavy buffalo rifles through the walls. The charges broke by noon. The siege dragged on for days. Then a band of warriors gathered on a bluff to the east, far out of range. Or so they thought. Billy Dixon, 23, picked up a .50 Sharps and fired. A rider dropped from his horse. The others pulled back. According to legend, the shot was later measured at 1,538 yards. Dixon never bragged about it. He called it a scratch shot. Pictured: Billy Dixon, and the bluff east of Adobe Walls where the warrior fell.

Um torcedor do Lens registrou a magia do Como de Fàbregas. A coordenação de movimentos, o timing perfeito dos passes... O gol de Nico Paz é só um detalhe em um futebol tão prazeroso de ser assistido

She is appropriately pumpkin-ish as befits the season, liberally swathed in ribbon & silk fringe. It is a late 1860s/early 1870s garment from the fashion house of Mme Depret, a lesser known name in late c19th couture who nonetheless produced some sartorial delights @metmuseum
