Using Old Postcard: References From The Past
Hello everyone!
I am writing a historical novel based in 1913 Duluth, Minnesota. I lived in Duluth for a bout 20 years so I know what it looks like now. --I now live in the South Pacific, so a drive there would be out of the question.--
But, what did it look like then?
I have mentioned the Library of Congress so often that I hope this is the first place you visit!
But--
I have gotten a lot of information from postcards from the time!
I went to eBay and searched Duluth, MN and found some amazing pictures. I don't need to buy them. No! I save them on my hard drive -- making sure to label them correctly -- and use them as references for scenes.
How easy is that?
Never heard of Duluth? That's ok, we forgive you. ~wink~

P.S.
Also try Amazon. I have learned a lot about Duluth by reading the free preview pages of books!
