History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers


Will Rogers was a Cherokee-American cowboy, comedian, humorist, social commentator, and vaudeville actor. Born in Oologah, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) on November 4, 1879, he will always be remembered for his famous quotation "I never yet met a man that I dident[sic] like" The sentence was part of an original quote published in the November 6, 1926 edition of the Saturday Evening Post.
