One of my favorite old-time photos shows my great, great grandfather, William Strassburg, crossing a river on a wagon with a pair of horses. No name or date appears on the back. However, I know my grandfather lived in Gunnison, Colorado for many years, and the scenery does resemble the Western Slope of Colorado. The boys in the wagon are a mystery, and no one in the family knew who the children were.
AWESOME photo…. Maybe he ferried people across to make some pocket money? There could be a thousand reasons… sad you’ll never know unless a diary turns up.
Love it!
Thank you!
Wish I could go back in time….
That is wonderful 🙂
Thank you, Joshi.
Beautiful piece of personal history.
thank you
😊
You’re so fortunate to have such wonderful old family photos!
What a fabulous photo! Does it look like 3 boys in there? I like the “ferrying” idea–or just to help out some kids who needed to get home?
Perhaps you could write a fiction on what was happening and who the children were…you never know how close to the truth you might get. I really like all the photos you post.
thank you
Such a cool photo!
thank you…I love this photo too!
