This blog has nothing to do with gorillas (though I love 'em)...fellow bloggers have inspired me to share vintage images of Disneyland from my personal collection. But don't be surprised if you see something from a World's Fair, Knott's Berry Farm, or someplace else that is cool!

Frontierland Indians, 1956
It must have been a chilly day in 1956, because these Indian dancers are huddled around a real campfire. I like this candid shot from the first Indian Village...you can almost believe that they used the tipis as shelter on a windy or drizzly day. A mug of cocoa and a few marshmallows would come in handy.
Did you know that marshmallows were originally made using a mucilaginous extract from the root of the marshmallow plant?
I did know that! They were also eaten often by the ancient Egyptians. Though I do wonder what they paired them with. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Major for that bit of information.
