Sorry if I posted this before. I know I did on some gun site. Anyway here it is. I belive this would be around davenport or betindorf iowa probley around the turn of the century. It was in my grandpas stuff and he was born around 1882.

That's an interesting photo. I like the way some of them are not looking at the photographer.

The guy in the middle of the back row actually has a rifle barrel shoved up under his hat. That's funny right there.

Really great picture. I wouldn't mind having a time machine and relocating back then.

That's the way I feel when I look at this old family photo; the only one I know for sure is which one is my grandma as a little girl, but it sure looks like a lot of stories could be told by that bunch...
