While some of the people did not feel that this film was of any particular value, I have to disagree with them. In my humble opinion, it is always nice to be able to look back in time at an area's beginnings and its settlers. This film is now already over a half century old and it is full of memorabilia for those of us old enough to have frequented the places shown in the film and have known some of the people in the film as well. And as I am a former Marine, I was particularly happy to hear the Marine Corps hymn played as background music. SemperFi
