Most of these images have already been posted elsewhere in the Carter County Photo Album pages,
but I'm reposting them here to place them all in context, and provide information about the album as a whole.
*** Note that this is a work in progress, and more information on individual photos will be posted shortly ***
The back cover indicates that Reuben created the album in 1927, when he was "84 years and 20 days old".
This seems strange in that Reuben's commonly accepted birthdate is September 11, 1822. 1822 + 84 = 1906!
Conversely, 1927 minus 84 years = 1843! It should be noted that the album's supposted creation year is written in
different ink and in a different styleof writing (note the difference in how the number "2" is printed in the dedication),
and the fact that the third digit in the year has been "corrected".
