Happy July 4th! 100 year old picture.

OK - this should be in general chat, but I'm not reducing this picture any farther. About 2 years ago I picked up a pile of Alaska postcards from the 1910's. All are based around Valdez Alaska and are picture cards taken by the Fort Liscum photographer. This is my favorite one. Happy Independence Day!

I love old pictures,it takes you back and makes you wonder how it was to live in those times.

Like this one when people tossed crap in the streets! [8D] ahhhhh the good ole days.

That's a great pic and a nicely timed presentation Kate! Looks like they were pushing for 52 stars..

There are quite a few great pictures in this collection. The guy's uncle was stationed there. He told me there were 50, but I think there are close to 100 cards. I've been planning the release date of this picture almost since I had it! [] I only wish I could have taken a clearer picture, as it is clearer than this.
