We recently posted some cool historical photographs of Cincinnati in the early 1900s. And now we are sharing historical photos of Cincinnati from the late 1930s that document the everyday life of the city. Nelson Ronsheim captured these photographs. He was the youngest photographer to record history through his camera at the age of 18. Nelson was a student of history, and he captured 800 pictures of the city during the 1930s.

where these kids identified, be nice to find what was in their future. The war was only a couple of years away, what happened to them? All good things I hope.
