    PaperPal -- Please click on the "Invite this photo to..." link below the comment box, and we'll accept it. Glad the image suits.
  • Patrick Barnum said:
    This photo is mislabeled. I don't know the identity of the gentleman on the left, but he's definitely not P.T. Barnum.
  • WolfFoley said:
    The photographer's comment engraved on the negative is that Jack Barrett was with "Barnum," meaning "Barnum's show" which is Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Barnum was long dead, but people still refer to the show by his name. No idea who the man on the left is. The right side of the negative indicates that Jack Barrett was 28 inches high. Cannot tell if it identifies the other man. The photograph almost certainly was taken at Madison Square Garden, where the B&B show opened every Spring. A check with Circus World Museum's index would reveal what years Barrett was with that show.

Northeastern Railroad Depot at Charleston, South Carolina

  • Steve Woolf said:
    Wilmington Depot, filled with powder and explosives, caught on fire and blew up, killing 160, mostly the poor, and mostly women and children who were scavenging after the Rebels fled. This was three times as many as those killed during the 587 days of Quincy Gilmore's siege.
  • Grant Mishoe said:
    Children set the fire which found its way to stacked keg powder resulting in a detonation that, as the newspaper read. "left body parts hanging in the trees".
