i beg your pardon my friend. the head of lincoln's security detail was named CROOK; an incompetent on duty on the evening of April 14, 1865. the president also was protected by the military when he ventured into sensitive area.
the ppd of the secret service were detailed after the mckinley assassination, but security notwithstanding, aides, such as ward lehman were at his side. i have an adequate background in history, and why i object to this cuteness: there are naive students.
hey guys, i have a friend who works at the local abc affiliate. he claims to have ilm of the rman 10th legion destroying the Second Temple. But, the sound is all n italian and latin, but he's working on subtitles.
this is nonsnense. but, even if it were true, where was this taken. lincoln had a beard only after he became president. we was walking down a street, during the civil war, with no escort, guards or aides, although there were many threats on his life. if true, i'm surprised that he lived long enough to see the civil war.
@marksteveb this is fake of course, but Lincoln really did walk around Washinton D.C. with no security escort. how do you think John Wilkes Boothe managed to get into Lincoln's Box at Ford's theater. presidents didn't get full security details until the early 20th century when the Department of the treasury added presidential security duty to the U.S. Secret service which was then as it is today charged with investigating counterfitting of U.S. currency.
What's the exposure time of a glass plate photograph of the period? The 15 minute daguerreotypes were gone by then, but it was still long enough that people leaned against supports so they didn't blur the photo by moving.
this is fake! abraham lincoln was murdered in 1865. the first movie clip of all time was recorded by eadweard muybridge in 1872 and it showed a galloping horse. and even if there was really a clip of abe lincoln a few years earlier, it would had a worse quality and a lower refresh rate.
@Leichenmoor Muybridge's motion was not on any type of film. It resulted from a horse breaking strings attached to an entire row of cameras one by one as it passed. He figure out that he could obtain motion by rolling the negatives in front of a light source. He did it to win a bet he made that a galloping horse had all 4 feet off the ground at the same time.
Wait! ,, my great great aunts , next door neighbo'rs uncle on her dads side has a motion picture from 1776 of what else than the famous signing of the Declaration of Independence! sorry cant post on youtube though, it was burned in the great chicago fire..lol
OF COURSE this is not real. How could it be? It is like saying you are going to drive your car to the Dodge City general store in 1865. Impossible. These videos, whether meant to be informative or purely for entertainment should have the right titles, at least. These liars that need you to watch their shit can only get attention by lying. Ergo, their whole life is a lie.
Unfortunately this was a time when photos still took several seconds or minutes to make, the reason why you posed for a shot you had to place your head in a frame to keep it still most of the time. Any movement showed as a blur. Sorry the technology was not there at this time.
It's of course a fake, because the motion picture was developed in 1888 (search Roundhay Garden Scene), and Lincoln lived until 1865. However, good video hehe.
that is Abe Lincoln did not trod through a sidewalk adjacent to Mary Thompson's House but some other street of some other locality hundreds of miles away!
one of them! The original Thompson House at Gettysburg no longer exists:its modern standing house that substitutes it at the authentic site only resembles the original in basic over-all shape:many aspects and attributes of its "constructed" architecture do not: one of them being the exact way the Walls of that House appear as constructed! And yet the very walls that Abe Lincoln and the rest of the Promenade go by "Exactly" resemble the type of walls at the Thompson House(this video is not there
It cannot be fake:it is Genuine! And why? The Masonry walls beside the street Walk(or Promenade of The President) are of the exact same method as the masonry of Mary Thompson's House of 1863 "still" photos! The way stone masonry was constructed for any standing wall with mortar belonged uniquely to Victorian construction technique! 20th and 21st Century filming modes can synthetically use many things "resembling" 19th Century things such as clothing and "remodeled" sites but Stone-masonry isn't
@albertuskundratis1 It's fake because I watched the guy make this, it was in the movie "Stealing Lincoln's Body" about how they stole the body, the guy recreated Lincoln and made him live and walk, as a computer generated character.
StudioMacBeth also did facial mapping on me and then on the second Lincoln life mask, then did CGI to make motion pictures of me acting and moving my face. But it was my skin "stretched" on Lincoln's bone structure via CGI. It was featured in "Stealing Lincoln's Body."
+A few reasons why this can't be real: 1) film is too smooth; 2) there is one woman with a shorter dress on, and this would be frowned on, and rightly so. Also, they did not wear dresses like that ten.
However, a plus for this atfilm - it gives a vineat visual of how the times would be like in living color, except for the short dress.
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOULL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE POSSIBLE HOWEVER IF U DONT POST THIS TO ATLEAST THREE VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS.NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY IT ACTUALLY WORKS
If it wasn't Abe Lincoln trodding the street then WHO was it? Somebody in the flesh was actually walking-not a clever 3d cartoon sketch out of Matthew Brady's mind! The principle and "proto" techno-know how already existed in Brady's day howbeit secretly: silent film of the 1919 era was not that far away in time-the industrial revolution took filmography out of the hidden room into a public spectacle! Notice the masonry walls are exactly as in civil era photos! Where is the Actor and the Cast?
@albertuskundratis1 Who was it? Anyone dressed and made up to look like Lincoln, obviously (well, should be obviously). They are called actors. They dress up and portray other people. It's what they do.
The nice, smooth motion tells you immediately that this cannot be real. How in the world would "glass plate film" be used in a projector? The quality of this "film" looks to be at least 16 frames per second. I seriously doubt that Mr Brady, even as good as he was, had a camera that could accomplish that. Plus, having done a lot of work as a film extra, I know film extras when I see them.... and everyone in this video except "Lincoln" is an extra.
@shumpert67 no, actually in the usa, back then the woman usually was next to the man opposite what ever side the street was on. This was done so if a carrage drove by all the mud and water would hit the man thus shielding the woman.......now what you said was probably true in other countries....that the woman followed behind, but I have never heard that about the usa or colonial america
Even though this is a staged scene of recent vintage no doubt it is still quite fascinating and doe not deserve the dislikes it has received. Just enjoy it for what it is. This is what a scene out of the great man's life might quite possibly have looked like. Very enjoyable!!!!!
It is fake. I was watching a shpw about Lincoln one time and this is what they had shown. The said it wasn't real but wanted to give a visual of what it would have been like for Lincoln to walk down the street.
Not only that, but he would have a guard standing beside him too if he was away from office.
How wonderful it would have been had the movie camera been invented during Lincoln's lifetime! Alas, the first known movie films were made in the mid-1890's, among which is the coronation of the last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II.
have you guys heard of a guy they call Zero Hour ? His aged was allegedly stopped accidently during some government experiment in 1886 at age 43 making him the world's longest living man supposedly still alive ! I'm still looking into to the story
have you guys heard of a guy they call Zero Hour ? His aged was allegedly stopped accidently during some government experiment in 1886 at age 42 making him the world's longest living man supposedly still alive ! I'm still looking into to the story
Well, let's see, there are several problems with this theory. One, motion picture cameras weren't even invented for another 30 plus years. Second, the quality is way, I mean, WAY too good. And thirdly, you'd never have gotten such a random shot of Lincoln, meaning no press conferences, no itinerary of trips to media, no one chasing him around town like paparazzi. And the camera would have been bulky and cumbersome, not conducive to a random street shot. So this is fake, fake, fake!!!
This footage was shown on the History Channel. It is a reconstruction of photos put together to simulate how Lincoln may have walked. I believe it was used on their program about his assasination when they discuss how he and the early presidents walked the streets alone before there was a Secert Service.
Are you kidding me?! No motion cameras were invented at the time, and even so that projection looks like a 16mm, how the hell were they going to make a 16mm lens to film that, and the first vintage film was recorded in 1888, which ran for 3 seconds. And that video is moving at 24fps! Everyone knows the first silent films moved at 18fps! Idiots!
I'd like to thank everyone for their interest in the greatest ever white American! - It's just a shame that more Americans don't take a greater interest!!!!! (I'm English)
Research what Mr Lincoln stood for and then search youtube for this film (Zeitgeist II) about how we have been all been screwed by the corporate yanks!!!
Why does anyone feel the need to declare this fake? When you claim something is fake it means you watched this vid with something in your head like, "Oh, Abraham Lincoln footage, this should be good... oh, nah, I guess not." Why would anyone entertain for a moment the idea that Lincoln was on film, and for some reason that film was hidden in deepest darkest Youtube?
I agree....Bigfoot film footage looks more real....
