About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Pushball History
Submitted by Lenus88 on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 9:26am.
Dear pushball lovers,
For 4 years of research on internet I have collected all sorts of pushball: like Moto Polo, Thai Elephant Soccer and of course Pushball on Horseback.
My goal is to create a forum for pushball on horseback riders/trainers. So that we can learn from each experiences with pushball on horseback.
Enjoy watching my weblog www.pushballonhorseback.blogspot.com

As a kid at summer camp in the Adirondacks, early '60s. We also used the ball as a trampoline until I fell off and broke my arm.
