For all of us looking for documents about the life in Old West (for those who publish images and stories in this blog, but also for SG mappers and modelers occasionally visiting this site), this is a first post about online resources for old photographs. If you know of other interesting sources, please leave a comment or make a new post.

All the photos are very expressive. As a preview I post here a couple of them.

Nice photos Biondo. Picture of the Old West i like this.
@ jesse: a wise idea, would have missed the clan. 🙂
I agree with you.
Nice page Biondo, I’am always a little bit nostalgic if I see such a photo’s, I would lived in that period (of course not for my whole life).
It is nice and interesting homepage. Thanx Biondo.
