This photo is from the Library of Congress. Sorry about the bottom, I am rather dull when it comes to operating stuff on the computer and could [...]

New transfer students to MSU were required to live on campus, so I was about to have my first experience with living in a dorm. I was excited, and had planned well. Dad and Gram drove me to the campus, about a one and one-half hour drive from Flint. MSU is located in East Lansing, [...]

This is a Cheyenne woman photographed by Edward S. Curtis. I believe it was taken in 1911.

It’s a large chunk of Americana. Hope you enjoy them.
