Very cool! I love the intersection of technology and antiquity. I just bought a CD player once owned by George Washington...!

Amazing, the author spent years researching these vets and putting pictures to them. Finally sounds like a book worth buying!

My grandchildren are very excited. They believe they have found his dial telephone.
To: martin_fierro
They had faces then! No teeth but great, strong faces.
By the way, everyone should read the hilariously idiotic comments section after looking at the great photos. It seems most of the world has never seen a photo older than 1950!!

Thank you for posting this.
Isn’t it ironic that it comes from a UK source.

"By the way, everyone should read the hilariously idiotic comments section after looking at the great photos."Why go to that site to read the idiotic comments. Seems to be plenty on this thread.
Great photos/great men.

An amazing find! So historically accurate and certainly difficult to do. Going back 200 years and all. Maybe this same guy can go back 30 years to find out more about the dung beetleOTUS? Nah.

I love reading those stories about the American Revolution...what it would have been like to be part of it...my only claim to war was Iraq (03-08)...and that has become nothing more than a train wreck! If you ever get a chance - read the book; 1776 by McCullough

It’s an ebook available on Amazon..I’d love to have a hardcopy. The stories are nothing short of amazing. And huge debt of gratitude to the author who spent decades of research to find and preserve these images and stories for all of us. Truly a remarkable work.
