Camaraderie
The energy in this photograph is wonderful.
"Father in saloon"
So, was Dad working the bar, or drinking away Sonny's earnings?
Jolly Boy
Little boy in front always gets jollied and he answers the men back as tough as you please.
Just wondering, what exactly did "jollied" mean back then?
