About this site:
I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30 years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.

ReplyDeleteNate,
ReplyDeleteWOW, that was fast. This was not an easy one and you got it right. How did you get it so fast?

Good Job Nate!
ReplyDeleteI am dumbfounded! Not that I could ever guess the correct answer, but look at the timing. The Mystery photo was published at 9am and Nate answered at 9am. Not 9:01 but 9:00am!
ReplyDeleteI recognized them by sight and a quick google image search confirmed it.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I'll say it again, that youngster Nate Maas is one sharp fellow! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jason and Mary.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you too, Mean Old Man! I've been enjoying your contributions to the site.

ReplyDelete"...Naturalist John Burroughs accused certain authors ... of taking liberties with facts to suit their sentimental, overdramatized tales of life in the wild. President Theodore Roosevelt joined the fray on Burroughs's side..." - Publisher's Weekly
Bravo, Nate!
