School Principal
My grandfather was a school principal in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This 1913 notice discusses textbooks and lessons.
The superintendent of Milwaukee public schools and some staff members visited select schools to see, first hand, whether or not the textbooks were adequate.
My grandfather's school is discussed on the second page.
1913 Yellowstone Trip
It would be exciting to talk with my relatives who traveled to all different places.
They made a Yellowstone National Park trip in 1913.
That is one of the years Yellowstone Chip was driving stage in the Park.
I have written a biography of Chip and it would be the best surprise if he had taken my Stivers family members on the Grand Tour.
If only for a time machine.

Madeira Portugal Visit in 1913
Visiting Madeira was just as popular then as it is now.
Tourists were happy to be transported in a bullock carriage--carro de bois,
just like my great aunt and her friends were.
1913 Postcard from Italy
This postcard from my great aunt to my grandfather was sent from Italy
You can't get better than Vesuvius
Of course she visited "between eruptions"
Mail from the Past
My great aunts were fabulous correspondents and traveled extensively.
This post card sent from Venice would make a fine bookmark.
My great aunt Inez was a teacher and traveled when the school year ended.
