A "then and now" photograph from the Civil War. The top photograph, taken on May 21, 1864, shows an extraordinary council of war taken by photographer Timothy O'Sullivan on the grounds of Massaponax Baptist Church in Virginia. The senior commanders of the Union Army of the Potomac sit on church pews as General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant (legs crossed with cigar in mouth beneath the pair of trees in the foreground) discusses with his principal commanders their next move against Robert E. Lee.

The bottom photograph is that same ground in the present day.

Despite being just steps from a glamorous stretch of Central Park, James Dean’s studio apartment on West 68th Street in New York City was decidedly collegiate. The actor lived in the rented space, off and on, from 1953 until his death in a car crash two years later. (The photograph here was published in Life magazine, six months before Dean was killed.) On the top floor of a five-story, 19th-century redbrick townhouse, Dean’s New York home was furnished with bohemian casualness. Outfitted with indifferent, seemingly secondhand furniture and knotty-pine shelves, the small, round-windowed interior had abstract art tacked to the walls and a matador’s cape hanging above the bed—the latter possession echoed in one of the books above the built-in desk: Volume 5 of Los Toros, a 1943 encyclopedia of bullfighting by José María Cossío. The bath, shared with other tenants, was located down the hall.

In 1954, The Traveller Could Install A Relief Bunk In His Car – An Aluminium Cot That Extends Above The Seats From Front To Rear

While one person drives the other can sleep in full-length comfort. Made of lightweight tubing, the cot was supported by legs resting above the instrument panel, on top of the two seats, and on the rear-window ledge.

It was quickly removed or installed and could be folded for storage. When folded, it was easily packed into place along with any reasonable amount of luggage. The bed could be adjusted for use as a regular cot.

A 1932 American Bantam That Was Used For Ferry Service Over The Pudding River In Oregon

The operator removed the tires and placed rubber bands on the rims for traction. Three cables were strung, two for the wheels and the third attached through the top of the car for stability. It was said that one gallon of gas was enough for 1500 trips across the 120 foot span

My dad owned a couple of Studebakers when I was a kid. He called them "Steady Breakers" since he seemed to always be working on the ones he had.
