About the Photos

Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

Puttees

You are correct :) In case anyone else is interested, I found this site that explains how to put them on. The rest of the site is quite interesting also.

Lace-up pants

They are indeed awesome. I think pants that laced tightly below the knee were designed to be worn with puttees.
