A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words?

No words necessary.

1921 Historical Pageant

This 16 page program is from a Pageant put on in 1921.  It appears to have been created by a firm from Milwaukee or Chicago, not locally, and it was sponsored by the Fond du Lac Rotary, for the benefit of the Boy Scouts.
The first part of the program lists all of the plays and tableaus that were put on, and the second part of the program lists all of the participants.
Interesting to see that there was a dance interlude between each program/play!
