NOTE: This art is in no way connected to the original Highwaymen. I have been in contact with Ms. Mary Ann Carroll via the phone and email to inform her that I was researching the Highwaymen and found some alleged inappropriate usage of their names, alleged fraudulent arts sales by collectors/self-appointed curators/Ebay etc/You Tube) , and many other alleged stealing of their work and names.
