Jackie Bouvier And John F. Kennedy Celebrate Their Engagement
This happy scene took place at a Cape Cod property belonging to JFK’s family, the beautiful setting where John F. Kennedy and Jackie Bouvier celebrated their engagement while a reporter documented the whole thing. Life Magazine later published these photos in an issue that enjoyed exclusive rights to their release. Sometime after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Jackie would sentimentally look through these photographs and comment that their life together was like a fairytale, and that she should have known that it would all be too good to be true.

Children Listening To A Civil War Veteran Speak
The Civil War might seem like it happened centuries ago for us (and it did), but during the time that this photograph from the early 20th century was taken, there were a fair amount of veterans still alive. Here we have a picture of an incredibly old Union veteran holding court with a group of enthralled kids. Men like this wizened figure would have been conscripted into this bloody conflict and forced to fight their countrymen. While some of them would return to normal life, many were left destitute, especially if they fought for the Confederates.
