Americana our history

[ChiefBenderForever]

Greg, as a history scholar I can imagine your frustration with a production like this but for the average Joe it is a good starting point to give them a quick glance at our history. What did you think of HBO's John Adams series? I was blown away by the production on that and felt like I was back in time and the details were unreal. This new series was definately a rush job but to cover many years in a blink of an eye is a very big task and overall it's pretty good and entertaining. That is no excuse on getting major details incorrect but also shows that many are not aware of the facts. I have learned a lot and been reminded of many things I forgot, and it is a nice break from the Disney Channel !

Hey, Greg. I've never been too interested in ephemera, but that document (and its condition) is quite impressive! Whose facsimile signature appears?

Ray, I thought you might find this interesting. It's a RPPC of Bill Pickett.

Great image, Clint. No doubt a few here would find it very interesting to know that Pickett, with arms thrown in air, is biting that steer's lip.

Btw, is the card postally used? It doesn't matter much if the image is good enough, but I'm one of those who, if given a choice, prefers postcards to be used...sent and postmarked.

Ray, it was sent from Ponca City. I can't read all of the date but appears to be 190?. Someone stripped part of the stamp off. It's got an AZO back. I guessed around the 1907-1909 time frame.
