    This photo was taken in Racine Wisconsin, just East of the intersection of Washington Ave. (Hwy 20) and Grove Ave. looking East. The train is the North Shore Line which ran between Milwaukee and Chicago, the train no loner exists and most of the right away has been developed into housing and business sites. The buildings in the photo still exist.

    Not only measuring amount of gas in tank, but also checking for water at bottom by using a paste smeared on bottom portion of stick that changed color with water contact. Been there done that but in the morning instead. ;)

    This is Sojourner Truth.⁣

    In 1826, she managed to escape with her daughter and secure their freedom. Two years later, she took her former enslaver to court to get back her son. She won the case, making her the first Black woman to win against a white man in a court of law. Truth later went on to become an abolitionist and women's rights activist.⁣

    Oda Nobuyoshi was a dentist from Japan during the the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912) and was apparently a retainer for the Iga clan (famous ninja clan), although what that entailed remains a mystery. This photo was taken in 1880 when he was 20 years old.⁣

    Smoky (1943 - 1957) was a Yorkshire T

    A boy poses with two lobsters caught off the New Jersey coast, 1916.⁣⁣
    ⁣⁣
    During the American colonial-era, lobsters were considered "garbage meat" and were eaten by indentured servants, prisoners and poor families that couldn't afford anything else. Even the indigenous tribes that lived near the coast would use lobsters as fertilizer or fish bait rather than consume them.⁣⁣

    This is Joe Medicine Crow (1913 - 2016) who was a war chief and historian of the Crow Nation.⁣

    In 1943, Joe joined the U.S. Army and served in World War 2 fighting Nazi Germany. Anytime he would go into battle, he wore his war paint, which consisted of two red stripes on his arms and a sacred yellow painted eagle feather under his helmet.⁣

    This is Emma Gatewood, the first woman to hike the 2,168 mile (3,489 km) Appalachian Trail solo in just one season.

    She did it in 1955 at the age of 67, wearing only Keds shoes and carrying an army blanket, a raincoat and a plastic shower curtain. She was also a mother of 11, a grandmother and a great-grandmother.⁣
