Life, Love and Folk Art During Wartime Pistol Packing Mama of Wood collection Jim Linderman
A lonely soldier writes his mother from the front. As noted on the reverse, "Pistel Packing Mama" was carved by Bill Nicewater from company L. Now some speculation. The young soldier writes "Remember Righting me about this Mom?" I think Mom warned him about those woman available to soldiers. More information on Pistol Packing Mama and dames with guns is HERE (my article on the origins of the armed pin up.) Will there ever come a time when boys who aren't even old enough to spell won't have to leave home to kill their brothers?
Note rudimentary bars constructed on the window of home. This was most likely not to keep out animals...but the enemy. I hate every single thing about war except the humor young men are able to retain under the most horrible circumstances

Fred the Chain Man and his Carved Gun A True Crime Tale #2 by Jim Linderman
The Chain Man was found guilty October 19,1922 for kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison. He stayed there three years.
The Chain Man earned his nickname for linking a few young women together in in a hole below his shack near Omaha, Nebraska. He had tricked them by offering a ride to a nearby amusement park. His victims were Jean Jenkins and Kathyryn McManaman. While his prisoners were chained to a cement block in the pit, Brown dug their graves nearby. When H. E. Boyd tried to rescue the women, Brown simply added him to the chains.
Chain Man was shot while being captured in Medicine Bow, Wyoming after a few days on the run. He survived to face trial.
Chain Man's trial was delayed while the court decided what to do with hoards of high school girls who came to enjoy the show. "We will continue the trial in the morning when the children are at their desks" decided the judge.
Brown didn't stay in prison long, unless you consider three years a long time. He carved this dummy gun and used it in an escape attempt, but he was killed while trying. So was a prison guard.
Several years later, the skeleton of his apparent partner in the crime, Gus Grimes, was found buried near the shack Brown had held his victims.
There is at least one other example of this real photo postcard surviving. There is no way to determine how many were developed, but the businessman who made them probably hoped to sell a few to the high school.

The Extraordinary Wood Carvings of Anonymous 1921 Snapshot Collection Jim Linderman
Some serious folk art wood carving by Anonymous, who was so good he even had his own special "wood carving coveralls" for when the chips began to fly! Too bad there is no identification on the photo reverse, but at least we know the work depicted was finished around 1921. Close-ups here show not only the remarkable carving, but his weapon of choice.
