Can you imagine how bad they smelled?

^ That's exactly what I think when I look at a photo of veterans from the american civil war

Smelled? 35 years after the war? You're not right!

Seriously, Catherine Telesco, a group of strong and brave Civil War soldiers and your comment is regarding how they smell?
via Facebook
My father, brother, and nephew are veterans. Sometimes they stink.

Pretty shallow if all you can think of is how they smelled instead of the sacrifices they made. Believe it or not, people did bathe back then.

I remember as a very young child, I had plenty of aunts, uncles, great, great aunts and uncles. great grandparents, etc....I don't remember any of them smelling bad..but I do remember the smell of vicks vapor rub, liniment, licorice, ivory soap, and brill cream hair products...

Yeah..confused about why you think they wouldn't bathe before putting on their nicest clothes and taking this pic.

Thanks for helping me out! I won a bet with two friends on who could start an argument the fastest on Facebook! They owe me a night out!

Maybe she was hacked by a kid. This "smells" like an ignorant, immature kid post.

So, her veteran family members smell, Therefore, all veterans smell. No overgeneralizing going on here.

The women probably smelled, too. Maybe even more.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
