this is an excellent vid. an accurate b&w film of that period, no phoney colorization, just a slight speed manipulation. you can tell by the actions of some of the people ,movie cameras were a novelty at that time. the guy with the missing leg was possibly a vet of the civil war or Spanish American conflict . plenty of people hoofing it then, and negros were obviously integrated. was it better then? well , 80% of what we take for granted today wasn't available . nonetheless, thanks for the presention, A++!
