Each day we bring you one stunning little glimpse of history in the form of a historical photograph. Enjoy!
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.

ReplyDeleteHey, it's Joe P., the local ostrich man!
ReplyDeleteGood job guys!
ReplyDeleteGood job, RTD.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Nate, and everyone.
ReplyDeleteRTD and Joe,
ReplyDeleteWe are going to call it a tie, as both your entries were listed at 9:11.
So you saw the new little link on the site to "My Home Town".
Yes, the person is Joseph S. Pelt, my great grandfather.
Hope you all enjoyed the little site I put together on Christoval . . . www.christoval-texas.org
Thank you guys.
ReplyDeleteWasn't very hard, I had Looked through PJM posting of "My Home Town" a few days ago and remembered the photo. I did have to bring it up again to recall his name
I was a fast 9:11 and Joe was a slow 9:11, and I had his last name.
ReplyDeleteBut I see Joe did read your "My Home Town" also.
RTD,
ReplyDeleteSo it was "Slow Joe" and "Rapid Roger" this morning.
PJM
Heh.
ReplyDeleteRoger is right, though.
Whoa, I had not noticed the link to Cristoval before. I checked it out and am most intrigued by "Toe Nail Trail Days".
ReplyDeleteRegarding today's picture, I can't imagine riding on a bird of any sort. Must be fun?
We are but Humans and as such will find amusement and relief from the trials and travails of life when and where we can!An Ostrich though? I hesitate,having been placed on a horse when I was but 3 years old and not remembering it with the fondness others of an older age might? I was scared to death and have never ridden a horse willingly since! 55 now.Thank you.
ReplyDeleteit was all too fast for this ol' lady; made my head spin. But interesting, always interesting. I keep coming back . . .
