This
on-line edition generally follows the original book in sequence. The
exception is the placement of each chapter's primary text. In the
original book, the primary text of a chapter would be on about every other
page, with photographs and their accompanying text on the other pages.
In this on-line edition, the primary text for each chapter is provided as an
individual page at the beginning of the chapter.
Additional material has been included in this on-line edition. In some
instances, digital versions of the original photographs have been located
on-line, generally at the Library of Congress web site. Where these
images are better than those scanned from the book, they are used.
Additional advantage of such images is that archive quality versions can
often be downloaded and then cropped to allow closer examination. A few of
such cropped images are included, some with discussion.
This on-line edition is a work-in-progress. It is
not "under construction." That may seem like it's being picky on
terminology. However, each image page and article indexed is a
finished page and, generally, because of the construction of the original
work, the content of each page can stand alone on its own merit. The
edition was not released for public viewing until over 100 pages of content
were completed.
Addition pages will be added to the site as they are
completed. |
