I seldom venture out from baseball but occasionally I will pick up a Type 1 photo of a historical figure that interests me. I couldnt resist this image tonight (hence the water mark). It does include Jesse Owens so it isn't necessarily a non-sports item but the combination of the Cotton Club, Bo Jangels and Owens were too much fun to pass on. The other image is from 1914 and depicts Pancho Villa on an Indian Motorcycle. He fascinates me. Obviously he isnt an American so this may not qualify for the post. My great grandfather rode with him (on horses) so there is a familial connection. Perhaps I should have waited for a Mexicana post?
