Amazing.........
Here is the way they parked cars in NYC during the 1930’s. Wouldn’t you
love to own this group of cars today?! Righting the overturned hull of
USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor, 19 March 1943 A worker helping to build
the Empire State Building in the 1930’s, during the Great Depression era. No
safety equipment used here and very dangerous work. In the Paluxy
River, in Glen Rose, Texas, they found human AND dinosaur footprints in the
clay. This is what NYC looked like in the late 1800’s. A busy place.
I wonder who had the job of picking up all the road apples from the horses?
The USS Ranger....the first Aircraft Carrier. Just look at the
Bi-Planes! A Normandy Beach landing photo they don't show in textbooks
- Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops,
WWII. Library hidden in a cave, a unique repository of ancient
manuscripts known as the Library Cave. A hidden cache of 50,000 books and
rolls dating from ca. 500 to 1002 AD that were deemed heretical and hidden in
the cave since the early 11th century. "Second Class Saloon...The
saloon that Wyatt Earp and wife owned in Nome, Alaska between 1887-1901 He
knew where the money was! It took big cajones to be a steel worker
during this period, where they weren’t required to use any safety lines. I
mean BIG! This crew was working on the Woolworth Bldg, NYC, in 1926.
Like I said...BIG ONES! Atlanta in the Civil War before Gen. Sherman
burned the city to the ground. New Orleans circa 1906. "Italian
headquarters, Madison Street." The streets were still dirt! This
woman!! She cost many american servicemen theirs lives! Actress Jane Fonda
sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during her 1972 visit to the
country, as a protest against the Vietnam War. POW handed her pieces of paper
with SS# on it, she gave the list to the Vietnamese, the soldiers were executed
later that same day!! On July 10, 1913, Death Valley, California hits
134 °F (~56.7 °C), the highest temperature recorded in the United States. You
remember “20 mule team Borax”? A cool photo of the Eiffel Tower,
Paris, in 1928. Baptism in the river. From "Appalachian Life"
photographic study. Child soldier - in desperation the Nazi's used
many of these children often as fodder for front line diversionary actions.
These children didn't have a chance. This photo, taken at the end of
the war shows a young boy terrified by the sounds of battle. He even wet his
pants! You can see he is being told to toughen up! No other family in
American history has suffered a wartime loss like that of Waterloo's Sullivan
family. The Sullivans gave up their five sons in a World War II tragedy that
has never been forgotten. lleta Sullivan reads a letter from the U.S.
Navy. She received two letters from F.D.R. in February of 1943. The first
informed her of the death of her five sons in the line of duty, the second
sent later requested her presence at the christening of the destroyer U.S.S.
Sullivans named in their honor. Can you even start to imagine the grief this
poor lady had?
