Sobre este artículo
[Ohio, 1960. Good.. [18] leaves, illustrated with 123 photographs mounted at corners with cello tape, plus twenty-seven loose photographs. Contemporary tan scrapbook album, string tied. Many leaves detached, photographs occasionally worn but overall in nice shape. A wonderful collection of vernacular photographs documenting the rural family life of Lee and Anjelita Cuevas of Ohio following World War II. The photographs capture the Cuevas parents at work and play, the children at school, Lee and fellow servicemen posed outside a theater and participating in an American GI Forum, other shots of Lee posed in his military uniform, the family on their farm as well as swimming at a lake, and more. The attribution to Lee and Anjelita Cuevas emanates from the handwritten captions on a few of the photographs, inscribed to them. A recent online obituary from the Port Clinton News Herald notes that Librado "Lee" Cuevas passed away in January 2022 in Oak Harbor, Ohio. He was born in Alamo, Texas in 1925, and married Maria Angelita Cortez on April 7, 1946; Anjelita passed away in 1985. As evidenced from the present album, and also according to his obituary, Lee served in the U.S. Navy during the war and also "enjoyed farming." The present collection of images represents the contribution made by soldiers of Mexican descent who were part of the Greatest Generation.
