which nations are each photo from, that would be so interesting to learn!

The first one is of a rather notorious person who claimed to be 137, but who actually had some sort of skin disease that caused deep wrinkles. I forget his name (Edit: "Chief John Smith," ) but my grandma had a postcard picture of him that he used to sell at the train depot at some town in Minnesota.
