Picture History
Okay,  a picture's worth a thousand words, and this site contains, like, thousands of pictures. So that's the equivalent of, uh...a gazillion words? Well, you do the math, we'll do the perusing—of this collection of "the most important photographs of the last 150 years." Hyperbole, perhaps, but this is still one heck of a treasure trove of glimpses into the past. Just a small sampling: Lincoln at Antietam, Eisenhower on D-Day, Wild Bill Cody and the real Deadwood. The eclectic themes include African Americans, the Civil War, the Japanese internment, the Old West, trains, and U.S. presidents. So if nothing else, you'll finally understand what all the excitement was about Martin Van Buren. And thanks to Angela at Tech_Space for the link! (in History) |
