First, Buckles, thanks for the nice grouping of really old show photos! The first title, however, should be Miller, Stowe (not Stone), & Freeman and it toured only in 1887. It began as Miller, Okey, and Freeman in 1886 but for 1888, its third and last season, it was just Miller & Freeman. It was a modest rail show but its 1887 tour was the last for one of the greatest bareback riders, the then 52-year-old James Robinson; the show’s rising stars that season were Frank and Annie Howard, tattooed people in the side show.
