Kids - Cincinnati OH - A shady game 1908

Colorized photo from 1908 Original Title: Game of Craps Location: Cincinnati, Ohio If you ever wondered what it was like to be a kid back in the 1900’s, look no further. While some think its an idyllic life style, filled with fun times, bikes and toys, you would be quite wrong. In those days you worked for a living. 6 years old and up is a fine working age. Whether its working in the mines, fixing sewing machines or delivering things, that’s what you would do. If you get hurt… too bad for you. Having off time was a luxury, some kids would work 15 hours a day. So seeing kids actually having fun was a rare thing. When you grow up on the streets, especially when you don’t even own shoes, you grow up fast, and tend to play more adult like games.
