The destruction of the magnificent trees which took so long to grow always fills me with sadness ... and the fact we are still destroying rain forests.

Those photos of the destruction of magnificent trees is truly heartbreaking! When I was eleven, my dad took us on a 3 week vacation where we landed in LA, rented a car, and drove to San Francisco. We saw many of the usual sites; Disneyland, Hearst Castle, Fisherman's Wharf, but the most impressive place for me was visiting the giant redwoods. I was awestruck, and I stayed awestruck! It's the greatest spiritual experience of my life to be among such ancient living things, and the air was unlike anywhere else I've been. Clean and woodsy, and words I don't have to describe the feeling of breathing it all in. "Sacred" comes to mind, and I'm not a religious person.

And unfortunately, most of the lumber from those trees is exported to Asia. Ought to be a law, but our government keeps attention diverted by scandals and social issues.

Min 5:40 photo of grandma and two granddaughters. Notice younger girl’s face is slightly blurry. It is due to her moving, not sitting still. At that time even slightest movement resulted in a blurred image.

I have a family photo from my great-grandfather. He was Irish and worked on the railroads, building them, not an engineer. The photo has writing on the back stating that it's a picture of his railroad crew, and they had to of been Irish as well. It's an original. I do not know exactly where the photo was taken but it had to be before 1869 because the railroads were finished being laid by then. I'm loving this video! Thank you for putting this all together! I can find to photo if you'd like to add it to any future videos.

I have a picture of my Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother, with their three oldest children, taken outside their soddy somewhere south of Dallas, I think Hillsboro, in 1882. My Great-Grandmother would have been pregnant with my grandfather.
Back in the day each building had it's own character because of the architecture. Now everything is basic cookie cutter steel, aluminum & glass. When those old building's were demolished the US lost a part of it's individual identity and history, IMO. Bringing those old pictures to life in color really shows it too.
Thank you! Wish I could go back in time!

It was not created to deceive, it's an art piece and well done but it got shared as being real. I'm not surprised that so many are fooled by such a ridiculous claim, however.

Your pictures are wonderful! One comment about the picture of the Mitchell girls, it’s dated 1879 however their hairstyles were more fashionable during the late 1840’s and through the 1850’s. You might want to recheck the dating on that one. Thanks, I love this channel.

18.30 George Armstrong Custer
What a great video. You realize how technologically advanced life was in the late 1800s & early 1900s. The woman who's recharging her 'not a Tesla' is one example. However, what I'd really like to know is, where the picture at 16:23 was taken. The city is advanced enough that there are stand pipes (under the man's foot) that are charged with water for fire fighting. Also, embedded in the sidewalk are purple glass rectangles. These are placed In the sidewalk to provide light below the sidewalk. The only place I've seen them are in the Pioneer Square section of Seattle. Light is needed because of Seattle's underground city.
18:29 the right one is Custer
I believe that the photo at 9:55 is not Miss Lillian Smith but Annie Oakley.

It took too long to process the photograph back then. If you smile you had to hold it for almost 5 minutes for it to process. That's why the little girl in the grandmother picture with her two daughters is blurry because she couldn't sit still
Quite a few electric vehicles back in these says.
And now, sadly, family and faith mean very little in the U.S.
Pteranodons only had their super long pinkies attached to their wings. The picture shows bat-like wings with multiple fingers involved.

Great pictures but clueless on the Civil War pictures captions. The picture with the 2 soldiers sitting next to each other are in fact officers. The Union officer on the right is George Custer and the the Confederate officer on left was a prisoner and ex classmate of Custer in Virginia
The photo with the flatiron building in the distance I was walking there just the other day and it doesn't is not a single building from that period is that you would never know it except the good old flat iron
The destruction of the Magnificent Red wood trees is absolutely appalling. The powers that be during this period, could have cared less about future generations.

This is one of the reasons why Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents in American history. We can thank him for preserving millions of acres of wildlands as National Parks for everyone to enjoy. During his presidency, T.R. established approximately 230 million acres of public lands between 1901 and 1909, including 150 national forests, the first 55 federal bird reservation and game preserves, 5 national parks, and the first 18 national monuments. I'd love to see his third party, "The Bull Moose" Party be revived today for the good of our country and its citizens. "Progressive Republican" is a good short description of what he stood for. He was pro-free enterprise, anti-monopoly, pro-worker, anti-Robber barons. The Progressive "Bull Moose" Party advocated a broad reform platform, including farm relief, social insurance, limits on campaign contributions, and an eight-hour workday. In 1912, Roosevelt also became the first presidential candidate to formally endorse women’s suffrage. By the 1912 election, women had equal suffrage to men in six states and constituted 1.3 million voters. During his presidency, Roosevelt had advocated a "Square Deal" between capital and labor in American society. By the time he left the White House in March 1909, Roosevelt believed that the federal government must do more to supervise large corporations, improve the lot of women and children who worked long hours for low wages in industry, and conserve natural resources. "When I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service." He was labeled as a "radical Socialist" by his fellow republican and former close friend, William Howard Taft.😒 I voted for Ross Perot in 1996, the only time it made sense to vote for a third party. I liked his policies and he was right to warn us about NAFTA's effect on the US free enterprise, we did lose many jobs, and wages remain stagnant to this day thanks to cheap labor from across the border and overseas. I met Mr. Perot at the funeral of my grandmother's BFF, Ms. Ryan, who died at age 102. Ross and Margot Perot attended that small funeral in 1996, with only @ 30 mourners in the chapel. He was campaigning for President at the time, so he was very well-known. He drove there himself, just him and his wife (in a Buick!) with no bodyguards. Ms. Ryan was the live-in governess/nanny to their children for years, and considered part of their family. He walked up to my dad and said something like, "Hello Paul, it's good to see you again even though the circumstances are very sad this time." I didn't know that my dad had met the man before, the previous time was at Ms. Ryan's 100th birthday party. My dad was an executive at Collins Radio (later Rockwell Intl.) and was a microwave communications engineer. Perot created E-Systems, and both companies were involved in lucrative government contracts (Industrial Military Complex, as Pres. Eisenhower coined the phrase). It was surreal to see my dad chatting with this man, who was very famous in our area even before he ran for President, like they were old friends! It makes me wonder what else I never knew about my father. I've often wondered what kind of President Perot would have been. He was conservative, but he also believed that Big Business and oligarchs needed some restraints and that workers rights should be protected above all. I really wish that average American citizens knew more about our own history! Maybe history doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes (a quote by somebody, sometime).😉

@@StormdancerStormdancer It is not the only picture of a thunderbird shot down by soldier. The picture i found came from an American Indian website way back in the year 2001 and they believed it was a Thunderbird and was not fake. No one from what i have researched could prove it was faked. It is claimed that the photo had been known of since the late 19th century. I have asked people to refute the photo, but no one had been able too. It has been a hot topic since today's interpretation of science doesn't fit the photo. I have seen many anomalies that doesn't fit today's science been dismissed without question even when there is hard proof e.g. modern fossilization that took only 100 years. Also, soft tissue and blood in a great many dinosaur bones.
Euch ist schon klar, dass ein Teil der Bilder mit KI generiert wurde. Sieht man u.a. an Männerköpfen und auch an der Mode, in der verschiedene Epochen vermischt sind. Vintage war damals noch nicht in Mode.

It was created by British digital artist Christopher Smith, who posted it on his Flickr page in 2010. Chris never set out to fool anyone; he's just enjoyed a longtime interest in cryptozoology and the legend of the lost Thunderbird Photo. Chris elaborated on the Vivid Visuals website, "I did indeed create this image. I put it up on my Flickr page a while back and it was stolen and appeared on a few websites making various claims about its authenticity. Most intelligent discussions I’ve seen have concluded correctly that it’s fake as I deliberately used fruit-bat wings for it which are anatomically different to a Pterodactyl (less finger bones!). It has been fun watching it taking on a life of its own, although I never intended to pass it off as real."

18:29 - This photo of George Armstrong Custer (then a captain in the 5th US Cavalry) and Lieutenant James Barroll Washington (a Confederate prisoner) was not taken in Denver, as Custer never was anywhere near Colorado during the war, but rather this photograph was captured near Fair Oaks, Virginia, on May 31, 1862. - please note that I absolutely love your colorization work, but your lack of research into your subject matter will drive any historian nuts!
Why isn't anybody smiling in these photographs ?
