One Man and his Changes
The man in this photo, could have fought in the Civil. The changes he witnessed in his lifetime included the change from manpower and horsepower to mechanical engines fuelled by oil and steam. He saw transportation evolve from horse-drawn wagons to vehicles powered by gasoline, and the beginnings of air travel. He never saw computers or rocket ships. More than likely he harvested wood for home heating, raised his own vegetables, meat, and dairy products. He most probably never enjoyed the convenience of electricity.
He would have voted for or against the thirteenth through possibly the nineteenth amendments.
The twentieth century produced more innovation and change than all of the other years in recorded history together.
