.

1927 at NAS Lakehurst, NJ, a sudden shift in the weather lifted the tail of the rigid airship USS Los Angeles
This resulted in the unique sight of the 658-foot long airship standing on its nose.

California, 1935...

American River camp, Sacramento. Home of Tennessee family, now migratory workers. Seven in family, came to California July 1935, following relatives who had come in 1933. Father was a coal miner in Tennessee. Reason for coming to California. "Our neighbors were coming. We only got one or two days work a week (relief.) Thought we could make it better here." Since arrival family has worked in walnuts, tomatoes, peaches, and the mother has worked in a fruit cannery...


If you always wondered what the inside of the old service stations and garages looked like. Back then most of the Route 66 traffic depended on the service station to repair their car and get them back on the road. There were very few dealer garages along the way and no specialized shops like we have today. This photo from August 1937 is not on Route 66 but probably is an excellent representative of the way it was in the average service station. This photo has excellent resolution!
