Sam A. Cooley-US photographer, Department of the South

While wasting a few hours on the Internet looking for a new place to live and

photograph, I came across a interesting site.

Here is a photo of Sam Cooley and his two mule pulled wagons, circa 1860-65.

The site archives photographs from all over the world and features a great

search capability.

Here you can find historical photographs from the American West, from Indian

raiding parties, to Wilbur Wright, to Africa. Most photos credit the

photographer and are dated.

Here is a photo typical of the quality of the site, a French soldier and his dog

both wearing gas masks on the way to the front, look in the background of the

person leaving...

Definitely worth a book mark for anyone that likes historic photos.
