Description
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VII. Other areas in Nye County -- Subseries VII.H. Reed Family (Kawich Mountains, Nevada). It's said that Jack Longstreet had been shot in the arm, and refusing to see a doctor, lived with an infected arm for many years. He did get Maude Reed attend to the arm, and also Maude's daughter, Helen Reed, when she got older. The arm, it's said, had a foul odor. When Longstreet made some money at his Longstreet Mine, he finally went to Los Angeles and had his arm treated.
