I am always stunned out how hard life was back then, and yet, many of the people look happy in the pics. Great slideshow with good info along with the pics. Thanks for sharing.
In 1849, my great, great grandparents crossed the country with six small children in a covered wagon pulled by oxen. They went for the gold rush which never produced any money, ending up in Sacramento with a laundry business. There were actually Indians terrorizing them on the way, riding right next to the wagons. This stuff really happened, including people dying of cholera. I honestly don't know how they did it. They were tough stuff in those days.
A very strange - at least, in this 21st century - mix of nonsense ('never produced any money' - well it must have for some, mustn't it?), distinctly lame formulae ('this stuff really happened, including people dying of cholera') and outmodedly insensitive terminology ('actually Indians' - oh dear oh dear... - pretty lame, isn't it!, to say nothing of the historically outrageous reading that it was the indigenous population who were terrorizing the interlopers who stole - no other word for it, is there, in hindsight - the original inhabitants' land...)
I think people understand, without your help, that when he says that the gold rush never produced any money, he means that he never produced any money for his great great grandparents. I found their struggles to be very interesting. I don’t think that the Indians can claim any moral superiority just because they were there first. After all, every Indian tribe’s lands were taken from some other tribe. Most Indian tribes were engaged in more or less perpetual warfare with the other tribes. Many Indian tribes made a living by raiding other tribes. The arrogance and a-historical nature of your comments is very disturbing. I think that the temporary victory of that vile and evil man, Trump, is partly due to the arrogant and contemptuous attitude of people like yourself.
Speaking as an historic geographer I am drawn to the plethora of videos increasingly available on TH-cam relating to the US and other places. Many of these videos use photographs that are clearly not properly attributed or identified. Your video is certainly the best that I have seen of its ilk. Your narration was measured and relevant, with good background descriptions. Well done to you and I look forward to seeing many more.
Please keep in mind many videos are created by common folk, without proper academic training, but meaning well. They don't know about proper attribution and such. If you're looking for peer-reviewed documentaries, TH-cam is the wrong place. Wishing you well.
I,m a Brit,but probably know more about American history than alot of Americans do,especially the civil war era,-which i always find intresting and have visited alot of the battlefields around the Virginia and Maryland area, and Gettysburg too,-enjoyd this video.
Around 1999 American trivia experts, some truly smart and knowledgeable historians and popular culture experts, took on the Canadian equivalent on NTN, now known as Buzztime. This was on the internet. The dedicated field that night was U.S. HISTORY!! The Canadians mopped the floor up with us. After that, I don't accuse Brian Corrigan and his ilk of being braggarts and so forth. It was a humiliating night.
Very good pictorial narration of US history. Every country in the world had good and bad historical pasts based on present understanding of those events.
1:06 ..... if your old like me, when you saw this picture the first thing you thought of was the TV show "Death Valley Days", sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax.
Loved it! I enjoy looking at all the little details in these old photo's, their clothing, housing, tools and anything else I can spot that tells us more about how our forefathers lived and survived.
Thankyou so much. Fantastic photos!! History is so important , and thanks to these hardworking people in the 19 th and twentieth century has made it possible for how we live today. I am truly grateful.
@@yvonneplant9434Rough it was, but yep, there was romance galore. Families of 8-10 were common. Cotton fields were still prominant in the 60s. My family share cropped in Tennessee Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee. No screens on windows. Fireplace for heat. Sharecropper houses always leaked. Yep, times were hard.
Thank you so much that was great about American history those were great memories people worked hard and sacrifice a lot for United States of America to become great nation!thank for sharing.🇲🇦
I really loved the background music. I actually recognized some of the old hymns that were being played in the background. I really appreciate that. And if it was AI at least it was a very genuine and pleasing sound thank you excellent Videos. 💕
17:41 I can imagine my great grandparents - my father’s (1915) grandparents from Russia 🇷🇺 and Poland 🇵🇱, standing like that looking at New York in the late 1880’s. My mother’s (1916) great grandparents came from 🇩🇪 through New Orleans, to St. Louis in the 1860’s. And her father came to St. Louis in the 1890’s from Greece 🇬🇷. My son’s father’s grandparents came from Poland and Ireland 🇮🇪 ! We’re a pure immigrant family 🇺🇸. :)🌷🌱
I am a lover of history - especially in photos. Several other youtubers present, like you, historical photos - with some description. But looking at this montage, I realize that you are the best. 😀 The images are stable and well in view, and the added information is well prepared and very satisfying.
Reading the comments, many people seem to focus on the harsh living conditions and comment on how 'the good old days' were anything but. Yes, life was harsh, and living was precarious. But it was generally better than it had been. People moved into cramped, damp dwellings to take up work in filthy and dangerous factories by choice. The only reason being it was better than the rural poverty they had come from. I feel the expression ' the good old days' is nothing to do with money, living conditions, or material possessions. More to do with how people felt about their lives, the community they lived in, and the people they knew. The common struggle and how they survived together, despite all the hardships. I was born in the 'grey, drab, awful post war 1950s. I don't remember it like that at all. Granted I was a child but to me things were as they were. Even my parents, poor as they were, looked back on those days with affection.
Wonderful , would SO love to know more about some of the families and people ,as an ordinary English woman shocked at many of the native American items,and thebuffaolo heads
It was actually 18 mules and 2 horses. They grew Alfalfa at the Greenland Ranch which later was the Furnace Creek Ranch, which now has the lowest elevated golf course in the world, at -214 feet below sea level. I lived there in 1979 and 1981. Cheers!!!!!
I did enjoy this video. None of my ancestors came thru Ellis Island, they were all here in the 1700's All of my husband's 4 grandparents did come thru Ellis Island, though, in the early 1900's.
My dads mom, my grandma was born in 1888 in a wiigwaas ni ( wiigwaam) which is a traditional Ojibwe birch bark hut on the shore of Lake Superior in Whitefish Bay, upper peninsula of Northern Michigan . My family still lives on the same land known now as Bay Mills Reservation.
Hello from Finland. These were very interesting pictures. The only disturbance was those colored transitions but I have easy switch of my iPad to B/W just pushing thrice the Home button.
Exciting. All old pictures also have buildings of houses that, with the construction knowledge of the time, must have taken time? But suddenly the houses were made of brick and cement in multiple stories in old pictures.. What I would have liked to see pictures of are those who built these houses in brick and concrete that we see. Quite a few - But it doesn't look like there are that many people around in the streets. What I think is: Where did those who built the houses get their materials from - Where did they get the bricks from? Where did they get the cement from? And where was the glass for the windows made? Where did all this come from? But as I have said, there were cities with such buildings in old pictures, when were these built.. Or have they been there all the time?

They didn’t know any better and they had nothing to compare it to imagine if we were too be cut down without warning
It's just like now. Some people are happy and some are just cruel and mean.
@@misscody8792They really didn't have the dental care so they didn't smile. It's that simple.
happy ?? no way! they were almost all very poor
Of all the YT’s about old photos (of American history) THIS is the best. Well done! Thanks
📷😊🙏
I am not American but i love American history. I enjoyed every second of this show. I loved it!
Thank you your commentary made the pictures come alive

All I can say is amazing and wonderful and thank you so much these moments in time our history caught in the making ❤️
Just when you think you saw em all. Incredible photos just incredible.
Thanks for all the photos and the background stories. Brings history to life.

Thank you for the wonderful photos, mostly America and how hard these pioneers had to endure rough rough times
Very interesting. The last photo shows an immigrant family at Ellis Island in 1925. Two years earlier my family stood there.

@@CharlesBecketI do bear that in mind. However, my issue is not whether attributions have been set out but simple accuracy.
@@johnorchard4I see. Thank you for clarifying. Be well, sir.

Americans know Nothing anymore. Our history has all been Cancelled and changed. Schools teach little of any value nowdays.
Around 1999 American trivia experts, some truly smart and knowledgeable historians and popular culture experts, took on the Canadian equivalent on NTN, now known as Buzztime.

your probably right!
Our politicians like us stupid. Easier to pick out pockets to line their own.
Great montage of fascinating pictures!
Outstanding video. Thanks for taking the time to do a great job narrating. Well done!!!!

There were at least 26 mules in that picture, but yea.
Thank you it's nothing like a picture from those times some how we are all related
To memories from our people in the old California days
So I've watched several old time videos, but this naorater, with these portraits is the best, that's why I subscribed to this channel.
Loved it! I enjoy looking at all the little details in these old photo's, their clothing, housing, tools and anything else I can spot that tells us more about how our forefathers lived and survived.
I love these historical photos! And much thanks for the detailed information!
Very important to have a view like this into past years. I would like to enjoy more visits.
Happy to be sharing these videos with school age students, 5th graders, these videos help to widen their imagination

Music And Natarror Voice JUST RELAXING 😊❤
Thanks So Very Much For This Gorgeous Pictures. Thanks To Them Pictures We Can Admired And Apreciate The Past ❤😊
Yet another wonderful display of US historical photos. Who needs museums or their restrictions on use, when photos like this abound online? Love this.
Museums have restrictions?
Amazing photos, captures a very unique moment in history. Thank you . Bryn (Wales)
Wow thank you for the cool pictures and excellent narration..takes me back!
Amazing photographs, thank you for sharing I very much enjoyed watching this ❣️
Love American history late 1800s
At least some of these show how rough life was. No romantisizing things.
