The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog - High Resolution Historical Photos
Just thought I'd share with you this great site I stumbled across some time ago. I check in on it every once in a while. For anyone who's even a little bit of a history buff, you'll find it very interesting.
Essentially it's just filled with lots and lots of usually random, personal vintage photographs take from even well over a century ago. It really gives you an interesting perspective on what life was like in years gone by.
Below are three images from their Civil War photo listing.

gorgonheapThis is wicked awesome! Lucky, you're the wind beneath my wings! I take back all the terrible things I said about you and your mother!
rottenseedI maintain the horrible things said about you and your mother, but this is still awesome. So how'd they do this?
