After The Engagement Of John F. Kennedy And Jackie Bouvier
Jackie Bouvier and John F. Kennedy visited the Kennedy family home on Cape Cod after their engagement. Their engagement photos were taken by a reporter who accompanied them. There was even a special issue of Life Magazine dedicated to their engagement photos! The headline of the July 20 issue read, “Senator Kennedy Goes a-Courting.” Looking back on those days, Jackie said, “Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it — but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.”

A Civil War Veteran In Pennsylvania
Isn’t it strange that Civil War veterans were still alive in the twentieth century? The last of them was reported to have died in 1956. The truth is that there were most likely several more around at the time. If they could follow orders and hold a gun, young men had no choice but to fight. After serving in the bloodiest war ever fought on American soil, many of them still had a bright future ahead of them. We’re sure they had plenty of stories to share with the kids. This photograph was taken in the year 1935.
