My family's land was taken by Pancho Villa and they fled Mexico to America in the early part of the 20th century. They came penniless. Through a couple of business connections and hard work, by the mid-20s they were rich again. Then, lost it all again in the big crash at the end of the decade. My grandfather was never able to afford retirement and died working as an accountant.

So basically fuck this guy. Though, living in America is pretty nice.

Enemy to the government and rich, hero to the poor.
Viva el General Pancho Villa!!

Big Mary, a circus elephant who killed a trainer, is publicly executed by hanging in Erwin, Tennessee.

 

[cameron]

^ That's seriously fucked up.

The elephant was hanged by the neck from a railcar-mounted industrial crane between four o'clock and five o'clock that evening. The first attempt resulted in a snapped chain, causing Mary to fall and break her hip as dozens of children fled in terror. The severely wounded elephant died during a second attempt and was buried beside the tracks. A veterinarian examined Mary after the hanging and determined that she had a severely infected tooth in the precise spot where Red Eldridge had prodded her. Although the authenticity of a widely distributed (and heavily retouched) photo of her death was disputed years later by Argosy magazine, other photographs taken during the incident confirm its provenance.

According to the wiki on the elephant, this isn't true.

Moro Warrior from Philippines(1900)

And not gonna image link the one below since it has dead bodies.

These text is from Wikipedia and links to the picture.

The Moro Crater massacre is a name given by Mark Twain to the First Battle of Bud Dajo.[1] It was a military engagement of the Philippine-American War which took place March 10, 1906, on the isle of Jolo in the southern Philippines. Forces of the U.S. Army under the command of Major General Leonard Wood, a naval detachment comprising 540 soldiers, along with a detachment of native constabulary, armed with artillery and small firearms, attacked a village hidden in the crater of the dormant volcano Bud Dajo.[citation needed] More than 600 Muslim Moros were killed by the Americans, of whom fifteen soldiers were killed and thirty-two were wounded.[2] No firm count of the number of dead was established, with some estimates saying that up to 850 Moros were killed.

This one isn't really historical, but it's about a 36(or so) year old picture that really warps you back.

I think it is kind of cool that the knot on the left of "The unbroken seal on King Tutankhamun’s tomb, 1922" looks like a clenched fist holding the handle.

This is an amazing thread.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

This is amazing. Why can't modern motorsports be this cool?

Because modern drivers would be scared shitless, that's why.

In this class photo, the child in the circle to the left was put in a special class because they thought he was slow.

He would grow up to become Ludwig Wittgenstein, the most important philosopher of the 20th century. His work would change the way we think about logic and language.

Oh, and the other kid in that circle to the right?

He grew up to become this asshole:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Wittgenstein

Several commentators have argued that a school photograph of Hitler may show Wittgenstein in the lower left corner,[70] but Hamann says the photograph stems from 1900 or 1901, before Wittgenstein's time.[71]
