For our turn-of-the-century ancestors, life was a moving experience—from the changing modes of transportation to the millions of immigrants pouring into America. The 1900s and 1910s brought the Wright brothers’ first flight, ragtime and the “Great War.” Bring those decades into your scrapbooks with these elements:
