This is wonderful! I have a collection on Pinterest I call When We Were Very Young, and I'm going to have to add a bunch of these to it! I love Twain - or as he so proudly shows, "Sam" Clemens.

(Only thing is, that last one, captioned "Amelia Earhart", is actually Katharine Hepburn in the movie Christopher Strong.)

(Oh - and I thought Lincoln looked a little short; turns out that photo of him with Poe is basically a Photoshopped cut-and-paste job for the novel Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter: http://www.snopes.com/lincoln-meets-poe/)

Here's Amelia:



And a young and rather cute Lincoln, from 1846:

Thank you for pointing those out, Tracey. I got these from an e-mail sent to me and thought I'd pass them on. I'm glad you could correct the posted errors.

Awesome! Thank you for adding these!

Mother Teresa was part Asiatic?

She was Albanian Indian. The photo's legit:

ETA: Seems to be legit... not proven, I guess.

ETA II - Woops, actually the photo is NOT legit, according to Snopes:
The photograph of the younger woman, however, is not a picture of Mother Teresa at age 18. It’s a picture of Tran Anh Phuong, an American resident of Vietnamese heritage who died in Virginia in 2008. Tran’s obituary included a quote from Mother Teresa

I hate those emails that go around...

Again, thank you for checking that out, Tracey. Actually my mom sent me that email and I didn't bother to check it's veracity.

But I have also 'heard' and I don't even know where, but I thought I heard that the real Mother Teresa died at an early age and other women took up her philosophies and were also called 'Mother Teresa' in their lives. Now, I don't know if that's true, either.
