I'm 64 years old now (2024), but when I was 8 years old I remember my grandmother, who was in her 70s, telling me about about a huge, dangerous bird from when she was a child. It was so big that it could and did grab children and fly off with them to eat them or feed to its babies! My grandma was born in the 1880s, to give you an idea of the time period. My best guestimate is about 1900 and before. I believe she said that you don't see them anymore. The Native Americans also have stories of this bird, they called the "Thunderbird" because of the loud noise its wings made.
You need to go back to your photos of civil war soldiers. I noticed several marked "Confederate Soldiers", who are wearing Union uniforms. Confederate uniforms were gray -- gray jacket and pants. Union uniforms were blue jackets and gray pants.
Back in the day each building had it's own character because of the architecture. Now everything is basic cookie cutter steel, aluminum & glass. When those old building's were demolished the US lost a part of it's individual identity and history, IMO. Bringing those old pictures to life in color really shows it too.
Architecture was built by Old World artists and craftsmen back then. Expert Ironworkers, plasterworkers, woodworkers and marble workers. Then came WW1 and most were killed or went back to Europe without turn-keying their knowledge and artistry to any apprentices here.Then income tax came in and most people couldn't afford a grand house. WW2 of course solidified it. And that's why homes today are basically cookie cutters. They're cheaper and take alot less talent and artistry to construct.Sadly.
I'm back, look at My Lunch Break, it will explain more@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669before we had the ability to make automobiles these buildings went up. That's backwards. Today look at the cars we have and we can't design even one building like they built. I imagine they flew around and it packed up into a briefcase.
lol - thats totally normal. People from the 1800s probably said the same when they saw more and more new built buildings made of bricks..... Same with medival forts and buildings etc etc. - Building and architevture evolve - or do you want to use the old technologies from 1850 ? Drive a horse instead of a car?
Every state looks the same, strip malls and identical housing developments , same chain stores and fast food. Sad, nothing but nature is beautiful anymore
Min 5:40 photo of grandma and two granddaughters. Notice younger girl’s face is slightly blurry. It is due to her moving, not sitting still. At that time even slightest movement resulted in a blurred image.
You must have spent so much time researching and creating all this amazing kaleidoscope of historical photographs it is much appreciated. And the music is really good too, Thank you
WOW!! I am impressed with the colors. When you started with the first picture it was in black and white then transitioned to color. That was extra special because we could see the before and afterwards with the color. More dramatic I think. GREAT job. Had to be tedious work but OOOhhhh so beautiful. Thanks Bright Style!
Before junk fast fashion. Clothing was a huge investment & most people didn't have more than a work outfit & church clothes. They took care of it & tried to look their best. *Clothes make the man "
I spent well over an hour looking at these, on a biggish screen, full of admiration for the attention you have paid to researching colors and dealing so brilliantly with shades of color. As I said looking at them was a joy.,Thank you so much for your great attention to detail. Subscribed.
I have a family photo from my great-grandfather. He was Irish and worked on the railroads, building them, not an engineer. The photo has writing on the back stating that it's a picture of his railroad crew, and they had to of been Irish as well. It's an original. I do not know exactly where the photo was taken but it had to be before 1869 because the railroads were finished being laid by then. I'm loving this video! Thank you for putting this all together! I can find to photo if you'd like to add it to any future videos.
I have a picture of my Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother, with their three oldest children, taken outside their soddy somewhere south of Dallas, I think Hillsboro, in 1882. My Great-Grandmother would have been pregnant with my grandfather.
THE STORY OF OLIVE OATMAN, PICTURED HERE WITH THE TATTOO GIVEN HER BY HER NATIVE CAPTORS, IS A FASCINATING TALE OF COURAGE AND HEARTBREAK IN THE PIONEER DAYS OF THE AMERICAN WEST. IT IS WORTH READING!
Yaşanılan zamanla, unutulan / geçen, tarih olmuş zaman arasındaki, yakın uzak bütün fotoğraflar, hafızamızdaki yansımalar gibidir.. Thank you very much..
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 Ahh yes blatant racism, terrible living conditions, short life span. The things that push people towards family and faith. You know the good ol' days.
I'm surprised at how far I had to scroll through comments to find one that correctly identifies this as a fake, and a recent creation from 2010. It was not created to deceive, it's an art piece and well done but it got shared as being real. I'm not surprised that so many are fooled by such a ridiculous claim, however.
@Ebeverly, I came to this channel to relax & you are the !idiot who is effing everything. In 2024 any technology is made through AI so, who is really the real owners? The person who used the app or the creator of the AI?
Correction. At 18:18, the caption should read: "George Armstrong Custer with former classmate, friend, and captured Confederate soldier, Lieutenant James Barroll Washington, an aide to General Johnston, at Fair Oaks, Virginia, 1862."
This is truly amazing . informative ,and we should all stop and take a look at history for what it is. And we should come back with a great appreciation for those who came before us to build a beautiiful prosperous nation
Your pictures are wonderful! One comment about the picture of the Mitchell girls, it’s dated 1879 however their hairstyles were more fashionable during the late 1840’s and through the 1850’s. You might want to recheck the dating on that one. Thanks, I love this channel.
My farther was born in 1907 he told me he can remember when a plane flew over his house everyone would come outside and look pointing up ☝️ he said the whole street would be full of people he lived in Newark NJ and he as a kid remembers a man named Thomas Edison in east orange new jersey he did his work there he said he liked talking to kids my dad was lucky to see the old days and experience the space age, he died in 1986 he was part of the greatest generation..
My grandfather brings in 1919 remembers when he first heard a Public Address system blasting. He never heard amplified music/voice before. Said he followed the sound through the woods till he came to a party with a PA system set up. Prob around 1930. Crazy time. I also read of town who would all come out and look at a plane overhead. Crazy times today tho
I really enjoyed your collection of vintage photographs. Do you by any chance have more information on James and Amelia from Austin, Texas? I am doing research on a civil war, Texas quilt , and these are the names of my subjects. Thank you for your time, Carrie Allen
What a great video. You realize how technologically advanced life was in the late 1800s & early 1900s. The woman who's recharging her 'not a Tesla' is one example. However, what I'd really like to know is, where the picture at 16:23 was taken. The city is advanced enough that there are stand pipes (under the man's foot) that are charged with water for fire fighting. Also, embedded in the sidewalk are purple glass rectangles. These are placed In the sidewalk to provide light below the sidewalk. The only place I've seen them are in the Pioneer Square section of Seattle. Light is needed because of Seattle's underground city.
Considering that photography came along in about 1840, the clarity of some these shots just 20 years later is astounding. Colorizing really brings them to life.
2:36 Tombstone Thunderbird, clarity is notable. The 1 other I saw was in B/W 0:54 Mary Mitchal's (1884) shoes are the best Historic Ladies Shoe or Boot I've ever seen. Looks like she found the founder of Nordstrom's.
These are great pictures. I even like your selection of music. Thanks. James and Amelia who? Was there no last name on the back? As I'm interested in genealogy, it always makes me wonder why people never thought it was important to include information on their photos.
The destruction of the Magnificent Red wood trees is absolutely appalling. The powers that be during this period, could have cared less about future generations.
This is one of the reasons why Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents in American history. We can thank him for preserving millions of acres of wildlands as National Parks for everyone to enjoy. During his presidency, T.R. established approximately 230 million acres of public lands between 1901 and 1909, including 150 national forests, the first 55 federal bird reservation and game preserves, 5 national parks, and the first 18 national monuments. I'd love to see his third party, "The Bull Moose" Party be revived today for the good of our country and its citizens. "Progressive Republican" is a good short description of what he stood for. He was pro-free enterprise, anti-monopoly, pro-worker, anti-Robber barons. The Progressive "Bull Moose" Party advocated a broad reform platform, including farm relief, social insurance, limits on campaign contributions, and an eight-hour workday. In 1912, Roosevelt also became the first presidential candidate to formally endorse women’s suffrage. By the 1912 election, women had equal suffrage to men in six states and constituted 1.3 million voters. During his presidency, Roosevelt had advocated a "Square Deal" between capital and labor in American society. By the time he left the White House in March 1909, Roosevelt believed that the federal government must do more to supervise large corporations, improve the lot of women and children who worked long hours for low wages in industry, and conserve natural resources. "When I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service." He was labeled as a "radical Socialist" by his fellow republican and former close friend, William Howard Taft.😒 I voted for Ross Perot in 1996, the only time it made sense to vote for a third party. I liked his policies and he was right to warn us about NAFTA's effect on the US free enterprise, we did lose many jobs, and wages remain stagnant to this day thanks to cheap labor from across the border and overseas. I met Mr. Perot at the funeral of my grandmother's BFF, Ms. Ryan, who died at age 102. Ross and Margot Perot attended that small funeral in 1996, with only @ 30 mourners in the chapel. He was campaigning for President at the time, so he was very well-known. He drove there himself, just him and his wife (in a Buick!) with no bodyguards. Ms. Ryan was the live-in governess/nanny to their children for years, and considered part of their family. He walked up to my dad and said something like, "Hello Paul, it's good to see you again even though the circumstances are very sad this time." I didn't know that my dad had met the man before, the previous time was at Ms. Ryan's 100th birthday party. My dad was an executive at Collins Radio (later Rockwell Intl.) and was a microwave communications engineer. Perot created E-Systems, and both companies were involved in lucrative government contracts (Industrial Military Complex, as Pres. Eisenhower coined the phrase). It was surreal to see my dad chatting with this man, who was very famous in our area even before he ran for President, like they were old friends! It makes me wonder what else I never knew about my father. I've often wondered what kind of President Perot would have been. He was conservative, but he also believed that Big Business and oligarchs needed some restraints and that workers rights should be protected above all. I really wish that average American citizens knew more about our own history! Maybe history doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes (a quote by somebody, sometime).😉
@ 3:50 Two Confederates in South Dakota in 1862? I believe that "Miss Lillian Smith" is actually Annie Oakley. Outstanding photographs and thank you for sharing.
To put it in perspective, my grandfather was born in the 1800s. I am now 56 years old. I was a teenager in the 1980s. Think about that when you’re watching this video, about how fast time goes and how interrelated we are to our past; it seems so ancient, but really is not.

Usually they only had 1-3 dresses at most and 1-2 suits for work. Fashion wardrobes were for the rich mostly.

The “tombstone thunderbird” photo is a modern creation by a guy named Chris Smith. Can’t post a link on TH-cam so you’ll have to see for yourself.
How the OP didn't see this is beyond me.

I'm surprised at how far I had to scroll through comments to find one that correctly identifies this as a fake, and a recent creation from 2010. It was not created to deceive, it's an art piece and well done but it got shared as being real.
I'm not surprised that so many are fooled by such a ridiculous claim, however.

Yeah. The dogs, all the men under the pterosaur, and the man at the very end of the left wing, is definitely a giveaway that this is a docked photo.
Correction. At 18:18, the caption should read: "George Armstrong Custer with former classmate, friend, and captured Confederate soldier, Lieutenant James Barroll Washington, an aide to General Johnston, at Fair Oaks, Virginia, 1862."

I've often wondered what kind of President Perot would have been. He was conservative, but he also believed that Big Business and oligarchs needed some restraints and that workers rights should be protected above all.
I really wish that average American citizens knew more about our own history! Maybe history doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes (a quote by somebody, sometime).😉
@@LazyIRanch Well said. I voted for Ross in the 92 election.
Trees can grow quite large in 2000 years when nobody cuts them down.
@ 3:50 Two Confederates in South Dakota in 1862? I believe that "Miss Lillian Smith" is actually Annie Oakley. Outstanding photographs and thank you for sharing.
Back in the days,... when Men and Women knew if they were male or female.
They also had way more class back then.
Not sure about that one...did I not see a picture of a wedding couple where the man was wearing a dress and the woman, a suit...lol...

Do you know what the rest of the caption said for the picture of the kidnapped lady with the chin tattoo?

The pic of the Union and Confederate soldiers towards the end. The Union soldier was Custer and his friend from military school.
To put it in perspective, my grandfather was born in the 1800s. I am now 56 years old. I was a teenager in the 1980s. Think about that when you’re watching this video, about how fast time goes and how interrelated we are to our past; it seems so ancient, but really is not.
