And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
a photo by the famous Ruth Orkin, who rode a bike from west coast to East coast to go to the 1939 New York World's Fair.
As the daughter of silent film actress Mary Ruby, Ruth Orkin grew up behind the cameras in Hollywood and began taking photographs at the tender age of 10 after receiving her first camera, a 39-cent Univex.
She picked up a copy of Photography for Fun, a 25-cent booklet which offered a snappy chapter on “How to Learn Photography.” Among the six tips was: “Get some more books on photography”
As a teen, she became entranced by the exotic tales in travel writer Richard Halliburton’s book, The Royal Road to Romance, which inspired her to plan an expedition of her own. (I have several of his books)
A two-week bicycle trip around San Francisco that she took, at 16, became the precursor to a four-month cross-country solo adventure the next summer, with the goal of visiting the 1939 World’s Fair in New York.
