Over the years many people have sent me pertinent photographs. Some were duplicates while others were ones I'd never seen before. Some came from the photographers themselves, some came from old trunks in the attic, and some came from unknown sources. I am grateful for each and every one.

There are photos throughout this entire site, not only on the "photographs" pages. Often there will be the same scene but taken by a different photographer or from a different angle.

Due to the subject matter, some of the graphics may be disturbing. Although we have tried to avoid the use of any which would classify as "sensationalism," viewer discretion is advised.
