This crew was working on the Woolworth Bldg. NYC, in 1926. Like I said...BIG ONES
Baptism in the river. From"Appalachian Life" photographic study.
A Normandy Beach landing photo they don't show in textbooks - Brave women of the Red Cross arriving in 1944 to help the injured troops, WWII.
A worker helping to build the Empire State Building in the 1930 ’s, during the Great Depression era. No safety equipment used here and very dangerous work.
This is what NYC looked like in the late 1800’ s. A busy place. I wonder who had the job of picking up all the road apples from the horses?
Child soldier - in desperation the Nazi's used many of these children often as fodder for front line diversionary actions. These children didn't have a chance.
Library hidden in a cave, a unique repository of ancient manuscripts known as the Library Cave. A hidden cache of 50,000 books and rolls dating from ca. 500 to 1002 AD that were deemed heretical and hidden in the cave since the early 11th century.
Cool shot of the Eiffel Tower
Here is the way they parked cars in NYC during the 1930’ s. Wouldn’t you love to own this group of cars today?!

Atlanta in the Civil War before Gen. Sherman burned the city to the ground
This woman!! She cost many American Servicemen theirs lives! Actress Jane Fonda sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during her 1972 visit to the country, as a protest against the Vietnam War.POW handed her pieces of paper with SS# on it,
This photo, taken at the end of the war shows a young boy terrified by the sounds of battle. He even wet his pants! You can see he is being told to toughen up!
No other family in American history has suffered a wartime loss like that of Waterloo's Sullivan family. The Sullivans gave up their five sons in a World War II tragedy that has never been forgotten. They all were serving on the same ship that was su
New Orleans circa 1906. "Italian headquarters, Madison Street ." The streets were still dirt!
Righting the overturned hull of USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor , 19 March 1943
The USS Ranger....the first Aircraft Carrier. Just look at the Bi-Planes!
In the Paluxy River , in Glen Rose, Texas , they found human AND dinosaur footprints in the clay.
lleta Sullivan reads a letter from the U.S. Navy. She received two letters from F.D.R. in February of 1943. The first informed her of the death of her five sons in the line of duty, the second sent later requested her presence at the christening of t

Thanks for sharing these, Graham. They ARE stunning, and historical!

Loc: Florida's East Coast
The Paluxy River "human" footprints were determined to be carvings, probably made by local depression-era folks anxious for some income....
Stunning, horrific but very interesting to see.
Quite a series of photos. I wonder how many other historical photos are out there is people's attics that will be lost as the current generation has no idea what they are and just dumps them?
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Great pictures... The one of Jane "Hanoi" Fonda would make a great urinal target...

Did I understand that Hanoi Jane turned over that list of prisoners' SS numbers to the North Vietnamese?
Yes she did. They let her meet with some of the POWs. Many of them gave her small pieces of paper with they social security numbers on them so that DOD could let their families know they were still alive. She gave them to the North Vietnamese which resulted in their getting tortured for making the attempt. She's nothing short of a scum bag traitor to the United States. Just ask any Vietnam era veteran.... ?!$$ on that &!+(#....

Let's just get things straight shall we:
As you have taken this away from the photography reason for the thread:
SNOPE SAYS SHE DID "NOT" DO WHAT YOU CLAIM
DID Jane Fonda Betrayed American POWs?
The long-standing claim that Jane Fonda turned smuggled messages from U.S. POWs over to their North Vietnamese captors is "FALSE".
She may have done other things that she shouldn't have but SNOPES says she didn't do what you are calling her scum bag about. If you want to accuse her pf wrong doings and there are some, then accuse her of the ones she is guilty of, start another thread perhaps, this isn't the attic......
Cheers and Beers

Thanks for showing these. Jane Fonda and this piece of $hit Bergdahl should burn in hell.
I find it very weird, that when I was born, at least one American civil war veteran was still alive. Nice photo's, thanks.
