Wow...amazing photos....a super history lesson!!!!
Color slides found at the Library of Congress...great representation of what life was all about in the late 30's and 40's.note several kids with no shoes.
These pictures are absolutely wonderful. They were taken from color slides found at the Library of Congress, and are dated between 1939-1943.
The pictures are so clear and the color is so vibrant, it looks as though they were taken just yesterday. Click below for viewing ...

The building in number 33 is still standing and being used today. It is a "Gulah" Restaurant and Gift Shop. Stands right on a highway intersection. Amazing.

The flour sacks, frame #30, were washed up and used as dish towels. Or, in some cases used to make clothes.
Frame #42, that's when boys were encouraged to just be boys. Too bad that is no longer the case, now the powers that be work to confuse a child's identity.
Frame #46 through #50, & #'s 53-54, brought a smile to my face - I worked for the Chicago & North Western, even worked at Proviso for a year, but not until the 70's. Back then, Proviso was huge, but Heineman sold off a lot of it, so he could get rich, t***sfer the money to another business and leave the railroad in bad financial shape. The turd!
Really nice pictures Don, I enjoyed them. Thanks.

The photos of homesteaders remind me of my grandparents who homesteaded near Gillette Wyoming starting in the 20's and the land is still in the family today.
