These are pictures of individuals, groups, family groups, public buildings, parades and etc. There are many pictures of families and individuals who are identified. These pictures come from all over the South, including Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri. I would be happy to post the names of families and individuals that are in this book, if anyone would be interested. The book is called "When the South Was Southern" and consists of old photographs that have been bought at yard sales, contributed by individuals and etc. Lots of pictures of children----- Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 22:18:34 -0600 From: "Jackie O'Brien" <jackieob@bellsouth.net> Subject: Partial List of Pictures in Southern Book STEAMBOAT LEFLORE loaded with cotton at Vicksburg, MS in 1885 BOB WRIGHT photographed in TN about 1898 WILLIAM HILLIARD BURKES about 1895 in Fannin County, Texas.
