This image is of an unknown Partisan Ranger. He looks to be very hard and has the look in his eye of a fierce combatant.

He is holding a .36 caliber Colt Navy, a favored weapon of the Missouri Partisan Ranger and looks to be ready for action at the drop of a hat.

This Partisan Ranger might well be from the Liberty, Missouri area, as the photograph has a Liberty, Clay County, Missouri photography studio mark on the obverse.
