Elderly People Throughout The US (1929)

Amazing footage from early sound newsreels

An 84 year old tells how he enlisted to fight "the War of the Rebellion" in 1861

A man born in 1826 says he's a Republican, but before that he always voted Whig!!!

A 94 year old lady says "For a North Georgia cracker of my size and age I've done pretty well in my education".
She also tells of seeing the Indians being moved from Georgia to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) when she was around three.

Great recommendation. Listening to it now.

And yes history lessons would be 100x more fun and memorable these days with virtual reality.
