Epic. You have to open it up to see them.

Wow. Those are really neat. Now I feel almost slightly conflicted about dailymail.

That is absolutely stunning photography.

The daily mail online is a very different beast from its print counterpart, far more concerned with banal celebrity gak, it even published an article recently which claimed right wingers were less intelligent

That's cool! It's crazy to think that there were parts of the USA that were unexplored by westerners only a century-and-a half ago.

In slightly related news, during the course of my work today (archiving) I uncovered a book of American 'minstrel' songs dating to around a decade after the Mail pictures were taken! It was just in a box of old newspaper articles and general detritus. It's an awesome feeling to hold something as old as that in one's hand. Mind you, Fraz does that every time he goes for a pee!

I almost always agree with Albatross, I can't see why anyone wouldn't.
