WOW! Amazing, this video couldn't be anymore lame. Aside from the shotty "aged film" work. I happen to know for a fact that it's a video taken of a re-enactment at the Calico ghost town near Barstow, CA. The wooden bridge in the back is for the train ride/tour that takes visitors around a portion of the park. This was filmed about 3 or 4 years ago. I don't know who taped it but, I know all this because I'm in it. As a matter of fact, I could name most of the guys in it. Even the haversack kid.
These are reenactors, early in the film there are people walking away in the right background, and when the unit turns away the soldier with the white haversack that hangs to his knees, please, the when they fire their weapons are raised upward, reenactors raise their guns as a safety issue.... new footage made to look old
The film was found in a box filled with rat feces and tepid water this there was a nail stuck through the reel to keep the film down, not ver y smart but thats how it was found
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really doubt the authenticity of this film. I mean absolutely no offense, but I'm not sure they had the technology to make any sort of motion picture back then.
Heavens! This footage and the pictures in your collection are historical treasures. They might not mean anything to you now, but think about all the people whose ancestors appear in them, too! Please do whatever it takes to preserve them. If you don't want them, pleasepleaseplease get them to someone who does. These are precious pieces of living history, not just dates in a book. Thank you for posting this film. Cheers!
The first movie camera was a device called the "wheel of life" or "zoopraxiscope" patented in 1867. However, I doubt this completely new piece of equipment was rushed out to film either side. The date attributed with the first real use of the movie camera was 1895. So, it's possible but not probable.
As we have recently been made aware motion cameras were there CRUDE but not in wide use but unfortunately they knew nothing of proper film storage, Thanks
Fake.

I don't think that is real dust and scratches either. Where is this from?
