Olive Oatman, 1865.
This photo (courtesy Patricia Carreon) didn’t make it into my book. It was taken in Rochester, soon after Olive was married in 1865, when she was about 28. She sent a copy to her Oregon friend, Abi Colver, and inscribed the back as follows: “How do you do, my friend and sister? I do not know whether to call you Abi Colver or not for I have not heard whether you are married or not–please write me direct to Rochester NY.”
