    These are wonderful. It's great to see how libraries with valuable collections like this are making them available more widely through digitization. Thanks for the links to the NYPL DIgital Gallery.

    Wow, immigrants to Ellis Island really did come from all over the world. I didn't know there were even Algerian immigrants as far back as 100 years ago!

    Funny, I stumbled upon this picture thinking it was Lawrence of Arabia or something. I can see the pride he has in his posture, his expression, his eyes. Great shot.

    They are Spahis, and usually described as French Algerian cavalry rather than dragoons. Are they charging along the beach at Nieuwpoort - it doesn't look like the sea in the background? Given that they are Algerian, would the sand be more likely to be in North Africa? There are a number of similar photos of what are staged charges, called 'razzias' [sp?] which North African horsemen were famous for - this looks like one rather than a 'charge into battle' shot. Nonetheless it is a great photo.
