Home... before it was home

Article forwarded to me via e-mail, appreciate it Momma... Devil's Tower, WY in 1890... picture courtesy of the Denver Post & the Library of Congress and taken by John C.H. Grabill. It looks like it is taken from about 180 degrees away from the one in the header.

Edit... the header picture used to be of devil's tower... it is now of Bear Butte. Devil's Tower can be seen below...

Interesting Commentary on the History Channel the Other Night...

"My Father & Mother were deeply impressed by the successes at home & abroad. Of course, they were fake. Hitler just printed money & pretended to be a miracle worker. But, at the time, the people didn't see through it. Also, Hitler gave the impression of being on the side of the military; and, they liked that too. So, I can't say that in the years 1933, 34 & 35 my Father understood Hitler's true nature; not at all. If that had been the case, then his behavior would not have been at all explicable."
