Binoculars were first introduced in Crowley, Louisiana in the early 1800s. The first binoculars were made of wood by a man named Andrew Cunningham. He used them to view animal carcasses that were being transported from one place to another. These binoculars are still in use today and are very valuable for hunting and fishing.

There are many different types of binoculars available on the market. Some people choose to buybinoculars for their own use, while others purchase them as part of a set with other items such as a rifle or telescope. A few factors that can influence the type of binocular you choose include price, magnification, and features. You should also be aware of what kind of eyesight is necessary to see through these binoculars properly. The six primary types of eyesight are astigmatism, presbyopia, back defectiveness (i.e., an inability to focus close), myopia, and coma (a Lens Error). There are also specific types of binocars which have been designed for special uses such as those used in marine astronomy or hunting games.

The Crowley Daily Courier was founded in 1892 and the Crowley-Lafayette News was established in 1906. The two papers merged in 1912 and the name of the combined paper was changed to the Crowley-Lafayette Times Herald. In 1941, all newspapers were sold to a group of investors who changed their name to The Times Herald Company.

Crowley, LA is a town in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. It is the seat of Crowley County. As of the 2012 census, the population was 6,724. The small town lies on State Route 472 south of Baton Rouge and east of New Orleans. It was founded by John Winchester Crowley in 1869 as an unincorporated community named after him. The name comes from Crowleys Creek which flows through the town. The first store in Crowley opened in 1871 and the first post office was established in 1875. In 1902, Crowley became a part of New Orleans and it remained so until 1959 when it became an independent municipality under its own government. The population peaked at 10,000 around 1970 but has since declined to 5,000 today due to various factors including distance to jobs and competition from larger towns such as Baton Rouge and New Orleans. One of the unique aspects about life in Crowley is that residents are unanimous about their favorite local food item: crawfish !!!

Binoculars have been used by humans for over 5,000 years. The first binoculars were made in China in the 6th century BC. In 1776, Sir George Washington used binoculars to see during the battle of Bunker Hill. Binoculars began to be used in American warfare in the 1860s and continued to be popular until the late 20th century. In 1907, Russian physicist Nikolai Tesla designed a pair of binoculars that could both be worn on the neck and held up to one’s eye for viewing angles of up to 90 degrees. By 1913, all major English-speaking countries had some form of binocular system available to their military members. World War I saw heavy use of binoculars by British troops as part of their “tactical reconnaissance” fields operation against enemy forces on many fronts; however, these devices were not widely adopted due to their bulky nature and limited range. After World War I, new types of binocular systems became available such as Telescopic or Airborne Instruments (TI). TI glasses became common during World War II because they allowed greater viewing angles while still providing good vision at close ranges. Binocular technology has since advanced with several advances in holographic technologies that provide true 3D imagery when usingbinocularity devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocularity In 1887, Heinrich Hertz submitted his invention for a practical means of seeing beyond what was possible with traditional telescopes. https://www2a81e3c7f8b4d9cbbceaf5bcfa3dded61 Hertz’ device was an eyepiece onto which he placed a circular mirror having an angle of incidence different from that at which light reaches the eyepiece itself. https://www2a81e3c7f8b4d9cbbceaf5bcfa3dded61 By moving this mirror around an adjustable shaft he could control how much light reached his eyepiece. https://www2a81e1fc6dc41eeef0ab412deec29cd This device is sometimes referred to as a “telescope with a telescope inside it!”[https://uploader-cache1.wikia scanset-cache1-com ›\'Telescoping optics\'] File:Hertz telescoopriglit_1887svg-.png‎[/url] - Wikimedia Commons user 'leifrock' filed this image under 'History'.

After careful study of Comet Halley (1889), German astronomer Johann Bayer developed what is known as Bayer's law which states that objects at right angles to the sun will appear smaller than those at left angles thereto.
