Great series! I've been to some of those towns, and at least one is not much more than a ghost town (but a fun place to stop and chat with the locals). Thanks!

Those are awesome! Tough times back then but very strong people!

These are great! I think I may have seen them before, but enjoyed seeing them again just as much. It's sort of cool how they left the film notches from the sheet film into the image display.

Thanks for posting this link to the old photos. Having been born in 1940, I have lived a good deal of it.

Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much, Joe. It was a great pleasure savoring this journey through the past.

Thanks Joe, it was really interesting to look through these. There's more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/sets/72157603671370361/. A lot of these places are pretty familiar to me, and I actually put up a blog post on the stuff from Pie Town, NM. It's one of those places that almost certainly had more population when these photos were taken than today.
