Wow, great link. Thanks for sharing...Since I doubt too many will scroll through the 400+ pics, I did, and I pulled the ones I thought were the best. Some very powerful stuff in some of these. A few famous pics we have all probably seen, but most I don't remember.

Can you imagine how long it took for these guys to set up their equipment for each shot? That tripod and big clunky box, hauling all over creation?

Posted in another thread but should go here too:

Over the past several years I have been reading copies of letters relatives in Ohio received from their sons fighting for the Union in the Civil War. In many letters the word "butternuts" was written. It was clear it was a disparaging word but I didn't know why.

Butternut is the name of the dye from Butternut trees in Southern Ohio, Indiana and that area that was used to dye Confederate uniforms. Learn something new everyday.
