Girl power! I love seeing photos like these. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

Yes, cowgirls rule, don't they?

What a great action shot! I love the confident expression on her face. :-)

this is a great shot. makes me want to draw it even though I can't draw horses...:)

this could be part of the 1912 LA rodeo staged at Santa Anita. In the other shots you see bunting on the fences, US flags, plus the cowboy roping, the silver decorated bridles. It all appears show oriented. These may well have been trick riders who performed tricks and stunts.

Wow, that is Czar Nicholas II of Russia. Is that a postcard?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia Poor Nicky. He wasn't a good ruler, but he & his family didn't deserve to get gunned down like that.

Thanks! We'll put his complete name in the source data and reload the description.

Nice horse.

Whomever does these Friday uploads, you're rad. Thanks. Any chance of getting some more of the color photos?

The men in the picture may be Cubans but I would guess they aren't "native" as in indigenous as they all look of either African or European descent. I just love all these pictures..

Thanks for the enthusiastic affirmation, Glass Window! I'll pass it on to the uploaders. Unfortunately, all of the color images from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information pictures have already been uploaded, so there won't be more of those.

I was worried as such. Thanks for sending my word along.
