Leroy T. Hills

"Nor shall their story be forgot, while fame her record keeps."

This free-hand drawing on a scrap of paper, commemorating Leroy T. Hills, was found among some old papers. It appears to have had a photo in the center of the medal but I did not find it. I still have more papers to go through and hopefully we will find out what Leroy looked like.

Horse with tail over 11 feet long

You have to admit, this is an amazing old photo of a horse. The mane is 7 1/2 feet long and the tail is 11 1/2 feet long. The photo was taken in New Jersey around 1901. Can you imagine the care and upkeep for this horse to maintain all that hair? Wonder how long it took to braid it and I wonder who owned this beautiful creature.

Elmer Hutchings

Elmer Hutchings

Not sure where or when this old photo was taken but the name written on it to identify the man pushing the cart reads Elmer Hutchings. It appears he may be moving some furniture. Check out the horse and buggy in the background. The building looks like a store.

Grandma's Atlantic Gasoline pump

What a wonderful photo! Is that the price (23) on this Atlantic Gasoline pump? This is not my own grandmother but I just love how this enterprising woman found a way to make a living. The ground under the pump looks freshly dug and the pump looks spiffy new.

They were white and they were slaves

The Forgotten Slaves: Whites in Servitude in Early America and Industrial Britain by Michael A. Hoffman, II is a very interesting read. This is information most people are unaware of but thanks to the internet is readily available today.

"When White servitude is acknowledged as having existed in America, it is almost always termed as temporary "indentured servitude" or part of the convict trade, which, after the Revolution of 1776, centered on Australia instead of America. The "convicts" transported to America under the 1723 Waltham Act, perhaps numbered 100,000."

This link is a brief synopsis of Hoffman's book. History can no longer be denied by the descendants of those who helped create it. White slavery still exists today in many forms. Can you spell t-a-x-e-s?

The following is a video documentary on white slavery in Europe:

The movie the Kennedys don't want you to see

Read here how Kennedy family members helped put the kibosh to this TV film. History channel caved but it's destined to start showing elsewhere. The world still has a thirst for all things Kennedy even after all these years.
