    Caption: "Spanish Slave Market, St. Augustine, Florida. July 10, 1934." An open-air pavilion with a gabled roof and six bays appears in the center of this photograph, somewhat obscured by surrounding trees and vegetation. The waterfront site on which the pavilion sits has served St. Augustine as a marketplace since the city's founding in the sixteenth century, for food, commercial goods, and for slaves. The pavilion in the photograph was constructed in 1888, after a fire burned down the previous structure. In the twentieth century, entrepreneurs used the slave market aspect of the site's history as a hook to entice northern tourists into St. Augustine's historic quarter. The market has often served as a rallying site for protestors, from suffragettes to protestors of the war in Iraq. Various civil rights marches held around the market in the 1960s attracted such luminaries as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Andrew Young.

    Caption: "Mortar Gun Practice -- Full Service, Fort Worden, Pt Townsend, Wash," c. 1910. The postcard shows several Howitzers, one of which is firing, as well as a group of men standing to the side with their hands over their ears. Construction began on Fort Worden in 1898, and by 1902 it was serving as an active U.S. Army base. Fort Worden was part of the "triangle of fire," three coastal defense fortifications (Fort Casey, Fort Worden, and Fort Flagler) guarding the entrance to Puget Sound. The U.S. sold the property to the state of Washington in 1957. In 1973, the fort and surrounding area opened as Fort Worden State Park.
