What they say about revolutionary war veterans still being around for photography is dead on. Sure, they were old, but around nonetheless. We have a book somewhere with a couple of Revolutionary War vets in photographs. My father is amazed by this concept too. He keeps telling me how incredible it is that he was alive at the same time as Civil War veterans. He says excitedly "I was breathing the same air as CW veterans!" I didn't really understand his excitment about that until I grew up and started appreciating history more. I found on Youtube a great video of Civl War veterans on film. It is really cool to see them moving around on film! (it's also incredible how they saw bombers dropping bombs in WW2 while when they fought they charged in lines of thousands and shot rifled muskets!) Thank you for the heads up on this book project!

Even if we are not fans of Richard Nixon, he was still our President and should be honored as such. You are related to a historical personage Bill!

I am not sure how my dad had them, but he was smart enough to scan them in, do a little of clean up work on them and then have them printed in multiples so that there is not just one copy. It is amazing the shape that they remained in and that I can look at a picture of my g-g-g grandad who happens to also be Richard Nixon's grandfather. That makes me Richard Nixon my great uncle three times removed. Needless to say, I did not know him.... Thanks for the post. Bill I have photos from dating back to my great-great-great grandfather.
