Rare Glimpses Into History...


History has always seemed more real to me when it transforms from words on a book to pictures and, even better, photographs. Some of these images have such power behind them, they made me want to pick up a history books to learn more about them. From 1864 to 1981, you'll find here moments of history captured by camera, making sure future generations have a window into the past.
