Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--February 2015


Figure 1.--The photo was taken in June 1937. It shows Art Simplot and his family in front of their 'new' home. The Resettlement Administration helped him buy the homestead near Black River Falls, Wisconsin. All he had to do was pay the taxes. There were six children and we can see that they were born very closely one to another. The children are wearing overalls, still common in rural America. The photograph was taken as part of the FSA photographic project. What we do not know is how the family made out on their homestead. The photographer clearly saw this as an accomplishment, but unless the family was able to turn this homstead into a profitable farm, it was not really a productive accomplishment.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.
