Shorpy is a great site for viewing vintage photos. If you want a real sense of history visit this blog often. I love studying the faces of the many individuals who have passed from this life into the next. (see if you can spot two special people in the photo above)

Backing for Cotton Adams

The towns folk of Booger Holler owe Cotton a great deal more than the six week revival that was held there.
