Another one of the somewhat boring Living Past series. In this, we see the dawn of the automobile, granted, there was some interesting info put forth, like how mostly all of the autos were hand made, some streets were carriages only. After that, we see some early motion pictures, some footage of Mckinley 's funeral, and the rise of Teddy Roosevelt. So this somewhat goes all over the place, all with the most rickety organ music assembled. There are.... other newsreels you can turn to.
