A local picker's find seemed like any other Victorian autograph book until looked at closely. The autograph book of Leopold Kahn, best known as "Admiral Dot" includes four members of the notorious James-Younger outlaw gang: Cole, Jim and Bob Younger as well as Bob Ford. Kahn acquired the Youngers' signatures while they were incarcerated at Stillwater Prison on January 18th, 1882. The arrival of Kahn and his visit to the prison were documented in local papers.
