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.

Looks like

Kevin Costner striking a pose....

I sure wouldn't have wanted to make that trip, it would have tedious at best... sure hope that they made it and had a good and prosperous life.
