ShadowSot Posted June 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2010 When I was working on a dig site of a pre-Civil War brickyard here in Milton, we found a brick that had a kid's finger print in it. Would have belonged to one of the young slaves at the brick facility. A little unnerving, about the size of my oldest niece's thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.B. Posted June 18, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2010 If you're depicting horros, you wouldn't say smile. Also, back then no one smiled in their photos. The taking of early pictures took over a minute. You try to smile for over a minute at a time and see how easy you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
