Description I have a picture of her in her petticoat, with the license from Dodge City, Kansas, the price of the license is $2.50. I've looke for a signature of Wyatt Earp on the internet and only found a picture of one. The internet has several pictures (mostly all the same) of Big Nose Kate, but not this one. I have not and will not take it out of the frame for fear of de-value, if that's possible. I've read every story on the web and have not made it to a major library. I have to get my daughter to help me post a picture, I don't really want to do that, but if I have to I will.
