Jack Longstreet was an outlaw and gunfighter who had his ears cropped for cattle rustling in Texas and thereafter left for Nevada and the Amargosa Valley arriving there in the 1870's. He later built this house near a spring in what is now Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and lived there until he died. He never changed his ways, was involved in several killings and gunfights and was hated but feared by those who lived in the area. He claimed to be a brother of the Confederate general, James Longstreet, but there is no evidence to back that claim.

This is view from one of the windows of his house and the insets show the outside and inside of the house. Here is a link to an old newspaper article about him: www.fws.gov/uploadedFiles/Region_8/NWRS/Zone_1/Desert_Complex/Ash_Meadows/Sections/History_of_Ash_Meadows/Jack%20Longstreet%20for%20website.pdf I'll be away backpacking in the Colorado Rockies until 7/27.
