I found this terrific photo in my inbox this morning from fellow history geek Carol Norwood.

This photo was taken in July 1938 during the Doylestown Centennial Parade. Can you imagine? This American Indian, riding through town on horseback and he's half naked. Look at the women. Seriously though — I wonder if he was from the Lenape tribe. Very interesting.

  1. Thanks for posting this again! This is my absolutely favorite photo of all the photos my Dad took that day. Dad was only 16 years old when the Centennial parade took place in 1938!
