  • 66 Pictures of Frontier Life..

    Pretty awesome, I'm not all the way through yet but it's definitely worth 15 minutes.

          Never understood how they could dress up like that in the heat.

          Nice pics.

            They could just be dressed up for the picture. Having your picture made was kind of a big deal back then. Also, they're in South Dakota. It can't be that hot up there.

              That's the surveying party, not too strenuous work. Wasn't a cake walk eighter, but I could see them dressed a little nicer than the chinks slinging hammers.

                Good point about the picture...it was an "event".

                  You are correct. Getting your picture taken back then might happen only a few times in your life unless you were someone important.

                      It's just nuts to me thinking about how recent it really was.

                        Even back then they were cropping pits ears. Mofo had probably just eaten an Injun baby.

                            Seeing those pictures made me quite aware of how completely revolutionary the 20th century was in terms of lifestyle, transportation, and technological advancement.
