Before Heading Out,
It is the second picture, the first is a print made from the neagative, the second one is clearer. The crossbow is on the roof.
The links in American Memory chance, for some security reason, a friend spend about two hours one day with the LOC folks, she explainded to me why, but I don't quite understand.
The Homepage for all the collections is
www.memory.loc.govThe Denver Public Library Collecion is there ad one out of the Dakotas from just before and after 1900. It has some great picks of Bonanza Farming if you like Steam Traction Engines and Early Internal Compustion Tractors. There is one steamer pulling a 14 bottom plow in virgin prairie, those things send shivvers up my spine. I coss paths with those folks from time to time'
There is a lot of Brady photos in the collection also, plus some really good printed material. When you get to the home page, click on "all collections."
