Photographing Texas: The Swartz Brothers, 1880–1918 (The Texas Experience, Books made possible by Sarah '84 and Mark '77 Philpy)

Review “The photograph of the Wild Bunch is one of the most famous images in western, and perhaps American, history, but few people know that it was made by John Swartz in Fort Worth, one of three brothers who practiced their craft in the city at the turn of the 19th century. Through diligent research and fortunate survivals, historian Richard F. Selcer has uncovered their story—a visual record of the developing ‘cowtown,’ the photograph that sent the Pinkerton detectives on a hemispheric search, and Charles, so engrossed in setting up his camera near a railroad track that he was hit and killed by the locomotive. As Selcer writes, this story ‘has the makings of a Hollywood movie.’” — Ron Tyler -- Ron Tyler“Worth close examination whether or not you’ve spent any time in Fort Worth.”— Wild West

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
