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.

Well, that was my best guess.
ReplyDeleteDid you finally gets some rain?
We got a sprinkle, but that is about it.

Fred Collingsworth, inventor of the Clay Pigeon.
ReplyDeleteJohnny, that is funny, but is not going to be a winner.

I really have no good guess but Dick Cheney???
ReplyDeleteAnother funny but not correct guess

Still with the music theme I see. This is John Philip Sousa.
ReplyDeleteNate,
ReplyDeleteAh you got it. This is so out of context for J. P. Sousa I thought maybe I could slip it by you.
Yes, this is going to be John Philip Sousa week. All Sousa, All week long.

Only out of context if you don't know Sousa, an avid lifelong hunter and Leatherneck.
ReplyDeleteThis man knows his Sousa!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Nate!
ReplyDeleteSousa week, awesome. We'll be able to recover from the miserable opera week (well, some of us).
Nate, You are a machine my friend. Absolutley remarkable!
ReplyDeleteIf you posted a picture of my own mother I'll bet Nate would guess it before I did.
ReplyDeleteGood job Nate
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognize him out of uniform. John Philip Sousa is a hometown hero around here. His home is a registered national landmark. The town features the Sousa Band Shell for outdoor music events. My daughter went to John Philips Sousa elementary school. The Cow Neck Historical Society has a mannequin wearing one of his uniforms (dark blue). Yes I tried on his hat (the caretaker said it's OK and I couldn't resist). It was too small for my size 7 3/8 mellon.

Joe, Dave, RTD, thanks for the encouraging words! I'm looking forward to a stirring week here on OPOD.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I'll say it again; that youngster Nate Maas is one sharp fellow!!
ReplyDeleteI am willing to bet that his parents took the time to raise him right!!!
That is Teddy Roosavelt!!!!!!!!
