100 Years of Indianapolis

Post

Hey guys, my new work study job is digitizing old newspapers and I found a couple goodies from the Louisville Courier-Journal. Louisville is ~120 miles from Indy.

They're from July and August 1909, a little under a hundred years ago. The first race was scheduled for 300 miles but they only made it 235. If anyone's interested in the articles that accompany these or their full-resolution versions, drop me a line.
