Sepia Saturday - Things in Front of Things

The Sepia Saturday suggestion for this week is an excellent one.

I couldn't find many of a couple people riding an unusual vehicle past an old building. So, I decided to limit it to a group of photographs of a vehicle in front of a building. (Things in front of other things.) There are some entertaining snapshots in that category.

(No, no. You're thinking of the "Royal Society For Putting Things on Top Of Other Things." It was deemed silliness and adjourned forever.)

So here's the first one I thought of. It's a boy on a tricycle in front of the porch of his home.

Now, let's think about this. This photograph is probably more than 100 years old. Oklahoma didn't become a state until November of 1907. The years prior to that, saw inhuman, thoughtless actions by the white man. Indian tribes were uprooted from their ancestral homes all over the continent and herded unceremoniously to "Indian Territory" for safekeeping.

Then, after some attempts by the Five Civilized Tribes to form their own state named "Sequoia", President Teddy Roosevelt and the US congress decided it would be the state of Oklahoma. The name was derived from two Choctaw words, okla meaning "people" and humma meaning "red")

Now I realize I have given the history lesson here only a glance. The story is readily available in several places and it is recommended reading. I just wanted to make note here.

The question is: Is this child in his Indian costume, headdress and all, politically correct for the day? Was it insulting to the proud race of Native Americans? Or did this sort of activity actually in the long view, help promote understanding between the races.

The Native Americans seem to be recovering at last with Indian Land being used for posh gambling casinos all over the states.

Hope that's not where they were living...

A helicopter in front of the Valley Cafe.

An airplane in front of a hanger.

Here's a horse and buggy in front of the Jefferson Home, Montecello.

Horses and wagon in front of ...well, a barn.

A car in front of the "Widow's Home". Driving a car would be a rare activity for a woman in those days.

But not so in 1932. Here is a convertible in front of the club.

A car in front of the old family home.

Man and car in front of ...well, a barn.

Here is a barge anchored in front of the post office in Manila, Philippines.
The building was heavily damaged.

Here it is more recently.

A two seated car in front of a toy shop.

Four guys on bicycles in front of a warehouse. Well, maybe it's a barn.

O. J. Bruton, now fully recovered from his bicycle injury has made a life changing decision. "Maw, I'm agoing over to France to that bike race. I'll be back tomorrow. Hope my feet will reach the pedals now."

Okay, now hop on the old velocipede and pedal on back to the Sepia Saturday home page for more adventure!

Or maybe you'd prefer just a list of all (well, most) of the categories and subjects and album pages in LOST GALLERY! Well, here it is!
