Shorpy

Young Shorpy Higginbotham and his friends take a pause from coal mining back in 1910.

You kids nowadays have it a lot easier than kids did just a hundred years ago. Living was harder and so was work. If you didn’t work, you probably didn’t eat and if you worked, there was a good chance you could get killed. Shorpy.com is a great photo blog about what life was like a hundred years ago. The striking photography tells quite a story and really gets to you. Things were definitely harder back those days.
