Shorpy is a photo blog about what life a hundred years ago was like: How people looked and what they did for a living, back when not having a job usually meant not eating.

Hey - that's great.  Thanks for posting.  I love these old photos.  I guess like probably everyone in this forum I'm a visual person and nothing let's me feel history more than these old photos.

What a find. Great images from bygone days. Amazing to see what conditions were like. The human spirit shines through.
