After The Engagement Of John F. Kennedy And Jackie Bouvier

After their engagement, Jackie Bouvier and John F. Kennedy went to the Kennedy family home in Cape Cod. They were accompanied by a reporter who took their engagement photos. There was even a whole Life Magazine issue that exclusively showed 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

Is it weird to think that Civil War vets were still around in the 20th century? In 1956, the last of them was reported to passed pass away. However, the truth is that there were probably several more around back then. Young men had no choice but to enter battle if they could follow orders and hold a gun. Many of them still had their futures ahead of them after they served in the bloodiest war on American soil. We are sure that they had plenty of stories to tell the youngsters. This photo was taken in 1935.
