Great old pictures for history buffs.....


GREAT Extremely clear old pictures. Taken with old 8" x 10" film camera.  Amazingly sharp...
 
These are photos of life in the US at the beginning of the 20th century. They are truly a walk back in time. 
Read the caption under each photo to identify the location and time period.
