THE "EARLY AMERICANA" CD
THE
"EARLY AMERICANA" CD
(1880 - 1917)
CONTAINS 40 "RARE" TURN OF THE CENTURY MOVIES
DEPICTING EARLY LIFE IN AMERICA!
PLUS! - DOZENS OF RARE PHOTOS AND 2
EXTRAORDINARY BOOKS!
Dozens of
early photos and 40 RARE silent movie clips will
bring you back to a time when America was
booming! From early sporting events (like
baseball, boxing and hockey) to the NYC Ghetto
Fish Market ~ you'll be amazed by this CD! We
even included two famous books - "The Four
Million" by O'Henry and "Maggie, A Girl of the
Streets" by Stephen Crane to further enhance
your "Early Americana" experience. The majority
of the files on this CD focus on the historical
milestones and events that had taken place
during the turn of the 20th century in New York
and the American culture in general. We are
very fortunate to be able to witness actual
footage of important industrial and sociological
events that occurred over 100 years ago and
forged America into the Super Power it is today!
A truly
remarkable period in American History!

The Four
Million
"Just as his
more fortunate fellow New Yorkers had
bought their tickets to Palm Beach and the
Riviera each winter, so Soapy had made his
humble arrangements for his annual hegira
to the Island"... "On the previous night
three Sabbath newspapers, distributed
beneath his coat, about his ankles and
over his lap, had failed to repulse the
cold as he slept on his bench near the
spurting fountain in the ancient square.
So the Island loomed big and timely in
Soapy's mind..." |
and...

MAGGIE: A
Girl of The Streets
"In the street
infants played or fought with other
infants or sat stupidly in the way of
vehicles. Formidable women, with uncombed
hair and disordered dress, gossiped while
leaning on railings, or screamed in
frantic quarrels. Withered persons, in
curious postures of submission to
something, sat smoking pipes in obscure
corners. A thousand odors of cooking food
came forth to the street. The building
quivered and creaked from the weight of
humanity stamping about in its bowels." |
