As a rule, when I'm posting an album page, I like to show the whole page for position, and then do a scan of each individual photograph. This page, however, was too big to fit on my scanner, so I've been forced to do it in sections. For the record, this the top row of pictures from a single page.
It looks like a family get together at the family homestead, and when this was taken, it's quite possible that this land had been in the hands of this particular family from the homesteading era. If nothing else, the grandparents were almost certainly old enough to remember the Civil War, Custer and the battle of The Little Big Horn. The youngest woman in the top photo may have been born before the first airplane flight, and probably lived to see man walk on the moon. Quite a span of history.
As usual, click on the here there and everywhere collection in labels for more pictures and an explanation of the series title.
