    Women did not wear knee length dresses in 1877.

      There was a woman named Amelia Bloomer who didn't believe woman should wear corsets and Kong dresses.She wore a knee length dresses and to cover her legs, long pants which aloud for more freedom of movement.This was in the 1840s,1850s.There were even satirical cartoons in newspaper s at that time.

    seeing the man rowing in Boston harbor i thought 2 things..the song, Michael row the boat ashore- it would fit with the men on Yellowstone Lake too. i also thought about the boston tea party(for 1). i thought about the spiritual Dem Bones when i saw the men in the Chicago field museum- the ankle bone's connected to the leg bone.
    i googled the whole song cuz i couldn't remember it all- i laughed when i read the neck bone's connected to the head bone! the best part is the phrase, Hear the word of the Lord!!
    thanks for another wonderful picture history lesson!

    0:31 September 4, 1882
    According to 3 sources
    On September 4, 1882, the electrical age began. That day, Thomas Edison’s Edison Illuminating Company flipped the switch on his power station on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, providing electricity to homes at a price comparable to gas. There are power poles in the photos so it was at least after 1882, not 1865

    The posting at 1:33 , Fourth of July celebrations in South Carolina was not taken in 1877! Look closely at the clothing being worn and you can clearly see the photo was taken in the 1930's. I should not be critical as there are some good photos even though they aren't the oldest.

      The group of people who gathered for 4th of July picnic are not from 1877 as it says. They were wearing shorter dresses small hats. Plus the men's clothing it looks to be after 1900's. 1877 is the Victorian Age. You are correct.
