From a book my wife recently found at an estate sale, "Dayton (A Postcard History)," By Curt Dalton. In 1913, Dayton was hit by a devastating flood, a formative event in the city's history.

The caption speaks for itself.

First thing I thought of, "It's the Fedora Lounge Classifieds, early 20th Century edition!"

Just look at that tilt! Kid's workin' it!

Unless it was the style of the day, CSA General William (Billy) McHone (Mahone) must have styled his hat after the hat worn by Union General J.E.B. Stuart.

Neat pic! Can't read the ribbons on their badges to see what reunion they were attending.

I've always liked this pic taken in 1922 at a funeral for their comrade, with Harry Lee on the left & Henry Binkley on the right; two men who led distinguished lives during their time on this earth. Some 57 yrs after the war; how young they must have been!

I walked past this shop a couple of weeks ago... read the sign and kept walking. Interesting to see a little of the history of the site.

Former U.S. Congressman Bob Poage (wearing the open road-style hat). Bob Poage was a close political ally of LBJ. There is a very interesting book detailing their relationship for all of you political/history junkies: http://www.amazon.com/LBJ-Grassroots-Federalism-Congressman-Association/dp/162349172X
