World War Two Vehicles in Marine Corps use: National Museum of Military Vehicles Dubois Wyoming.

This is a vehicle we don't think much about, in comparison to the Dodge 4x4 trucks of the Second World War. The Marine Corps, which had to turn to many alternative suppliers early in the war, made use of International 4x4 pickups which are much like the Dodge ones. Rates at 1/2 ton, it was clearly a very stout vehicle.

This is the only one I've ever seen.

The VC-1 was used by all of the services. This is an early war design which very rapidly changed.

The classic Dodge ambulance, part of its series of trucks, which was also used by all of the services.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
