John F. Kennedy Photos from 1960 Campaign Published for First Time [PHOTOS]

Hard to believe it was 50 years ago today that JFK was elected President…

One of my first memories, as a very small child, is the JFK assasination coverage on TV….

Marking the 50th anniversary of the day that John F. Kennedy was elected president of the United States, a trove of new photos taken during Kennedy’s campaign against Richard Nixon has been released for the first time.

Taken by staff photographers at Life magazine, the new images were captured as Kennedy crisscrossed the country in the spring and summer of 1960 in his attempt to become the youngest man ever elected president. They show Kennedy in a variety of situations, from standing atop the hood of a station wagon while addressing a small West Virginia crowd, to quiet, more contemplative moments inside hotel rooms.
