You don’t really appreciate something until it’s gone. If we’re lucky, in 100 years or so we might be able to wipe the stains on our civilization that the Leftists have given us over the last 50 years. I try my best to remain cautiously optimistic.

Interesting to see these in color. I saw them last year in black and white.

The boys fishing in the bayou has been my desktop for about a year now. I just love that photo!

Thanks.
I always look at the eyes in photos like these. Something stirring in them...

Wonderful! I was born in 1940 and all that looks very familiar somehow.

Growing up, I was kind of embarrassed how poor our family was.
My parents seemingly having nothing. Working in the dirt to grow enough food to feed the 10 of us.
Even though dad had polio, we never got much help from the government (except in the flood following Hurricane Agnes in ‘72).
Looking back, I now know how blessed we were.

What great photos! Thanks for the post.

So many of those photos could be Rockwell pictures.
The one of the two boys fishing could be a picture from the Golden age of American Illustration.

Was there widespread looting and rioting back then? Not like today.
More people had morals then.
Just my opinion.

Who knew the Russians invented the Afro?
Pravda was right after all.
Cool duds to be dressed up in to pour some concrete, anybody showed on a job site dressed like that today would have to get paid extra.

A woman working on a 'Vengeance' dive bomber in Tennessee, February 1943 It's rather amusing--the woman doing a man's work in that photo is wearing nail polish.

Aren't those WPA pictures a treat? The same collection was linked here a few months ago, and they are delightful, even sobering.
For no particular reason, this quote from "No Country for Old Men," popped in my head, FWIW:
" You can't stop what's comin'. It ain't all waitin' on you. That's vanity. "
