Bridgeport, Connecticut: Downtown Driving Tour (August, 2019)
A late Saturday afternoon driving tour of downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut in August, 2019. The police presence seen in the video is simply to close streets for a festival (Caribbean Jerk Fest) and not for any mass crime investigation!
Bridgeport was incorporated as a town in 1821 and as a city in 1836. The current population is around 145,000, making in the most populous city in the state and the fifth most populous in New England. The metro population is 940,000.
Bridgeport is located in Fairfield, County where the Pequonnock River empties into Long Island Sound. The city is just 60 miles from Manhattan.
The first Subway restaurant opened here in 1965. This is also the historic home of famous circus man P.T. Barnum. Starting on the right at 4:12 in the video, we get a really good look at the Barnum Museum.
The Barnum Museum building was completed in 1893 and was placed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The museum houses an extension archive collection of P.T. Barnum and the history of the city.
The video ends at the Webster Bank Arena. This venue opened in 2001 and houses the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League (AHL affiliate of the New York Islanders). This arena seats 8,412 for hockey.

GREYHOUND BUS LINES GUIDED TOUR 1957 PROMOTIONAL FILM 71122
Support Our Channel :
Created in the 1950s, this vintage film was made by Greyhound Bus Lines to promote their charter and tour services. As passenger railroads went into decline and America's highway system reached a new level of complexity, bus services such as Greyhound began to experience a surge in business. The Greyhound Escorted Tour promoted in this film proved highly successful with passengers from all walks of life signing up for multi-day trips to scenic destinations like the Grand Canyon and other National Parks, Washington D.C., New York, San Francisco, and other major American cities.
Greyhound Lines, Inc., usually shortened to Greyhound, is an intercity bus common carrier serving over 3,800 destinations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in Hibbing, Minnesota in 1914, and taking the name The Greyhound Corporation in 1929, the company has been based in Dallas, Texas since 1987. Currently, British transportation company FirstGroup owns and operates Greyhound as a division of FirstGroup America.
After World War II, and the building of the Interstate Highway System beginning in 1956, automobile ownership and travel became a preferred mode of travel in the United States. Along with a similar downward trend in public transportation in general, ridership on Greyhound and Trailways bus routes began a long decline.
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s had a connection to the Greyhound company. In 1955, the Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in the case of Keys v. Carolina Coach Co. that U.S. interstate bus operations, such as Greyhound's, could not be segregated by race. In 1960, in the case of Boynton v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court found that an African American had been wrongly convicted of trespassing in a whites only terminal area and in May 1961, civil rights activists organized interracial Freedom Rides as proof of the desegregation rulings. On May 14, a mob attacked pair of buses (a Greyhound and a Trailways) traveling from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans, Louisiana, and slashed the Greyhound bus's tires. Titles II and III of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 broadened protections beyond federally-regulated carriers such as Greyhound, to include non-discrimination in hotels, restaurants, and other public accommodations, as well as state and local government buildings
Later in the 1960s, Greyhound leadership saw a trend of declining ridership and began significant changes, including using the profitable bus operations to invest in other industries. By the 1970s, Greyhound had moved its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona and was a large and diversified company, with holdings in everything from the Armour meat-packing company (which in turn owned the popular Dial deodorant soap brand), acquired in 1970; Traveller's Express money orders, MCI bus manufacturing company, and even airliner leasing. Indeed, Greyhound had entered a time of great change, even beginning to hire African American and female drivers in the late seventies.

Funeral March for Abraham Lincoln J.G. Barnard 1865
This funeral march written by John Gross Barnard was performed by the United States Marine Band during the funeral procession from the Executive Mansion to the Capitol for Abraham Lincoln on April 19, 1865. Arranged by Jari Villanueva for Wind Band.
Purchase here:
April 19, 1865 was a warm cloudless day in Washington DC as the funeral of Abraham Lincoln took place in the East Room of the Executive Mansion. This was to be the third of sad services held there since the beginning of the Lincoln administration. The first, in 1861, memorialized 24-year-old Colonel Elmer Ellsworth, a friend of the family who was killed at the beginning of the war in Alexandria, Virginia. The second, in 1862, was a particularly heart-breaking service for the president's 11-year-old son Willie.
At noon 600 specially invited guests were present for the service and listened to Dr. Phineas D. Gurley, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, deliver the sermon.
“He is dead; but the memory of his virtues, of his wise and patriotic counsels and labors, of his calm and steady faith in God lives, is precious, and will be a power for good in the country quite down to the end of time.”
Following the service twelve Veteran Reserve sergeants carried the casket to the waiting horse drawn hearse that would bear the remains to the US Capitol.
It was to be the largest, most elaborate, procession ever held in Washington with military units, bands, clergy, congressional delegations, state officials, generals, and civilian mourners all moving to the slow steady pace of the funeral dirge. Indeed, many would recall the sound of the muffled drums heard that day for years. Thousands who had been waiting since dawn lined the Pennsylvania Avenue and watched from seats in buildings.
It is interesting to note that the scale of the procession would be almost equaled almost a century later when the remains of President John F. Kennedy were borne up the same avenue. Jacqueline Kennedy had requested the same type of funeral for her husband as had been held for the 16th president. We can all remember the sights and sounds that day in November, 1963
The procession started from the Executive Mansion at 2 pm and proceeded up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol amidst the tolling of bells and the firing of minute-guns.
Among the military units was the US Marine Band playing a funeral march written for the occasion by John Gross Barnard, a general who served as Chief Engineer of the Department of Washington from 1861 to 1864, and as Chief Engineer of the armies in the field from 1864 to 1865. He was a distinguished scientist, engineer, mathematician, historian, author and musician.
The march is titled:
“Funeral March in Memory of the Abraham Lincoln: Played at the Obsequies of the President of the United States by the US Marine Band.”
The funeral march follows the standard format of dirges of the time (most notable are Webster’s Funeral March, Chopin’s Funeral March and March in Saul by Handel) written in minor keys (considered somber) and divided into eight measure phrases which makes it easy for the funeral cadence to be played underneath. This funeral march, like most written during this time, has a transition to a major key (happier sounding). This march goes to the relative major (D minor to D major) key.
Since no parts are extant from the US Band, I was asked to score the march for a modern symphonic band. I hoped to capture the somber drum beat and employed a chime to replicate the bells that tolled along the funeral route.
The procession arrived at the east side Capitol at 3 pm and the casket was taken up the steps into the Rotunda where Lincoln would lie in State until the early morning of the 21st when he would begin the long journey home by train.
“Bear him gently home”

We visited Ganondagan, a New York state historic site for their living history event on September 23, 2017. Ganondagan was the largest 17th century Seneca Nation village. The nation was part of the Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee, Confederacy that spanned what is now New York, northern Pennsylvania and into Canada.

History Is Lunch: Roger Ward, A Closer Look: Silhouette Artists in Antebellum Mississippi
On June 26, 2019, Mississippi Museum of Art chief curator Roger Ward presented A Closer Look: Silhouette Artists in Antebellum Mississippi as part of the History Is Lunch series.
Before the 1839 invention of photography, the silhouette was the quickest and least expensive method of portraiture. The exhibition A Closer Look highlights works by the most famous “scissor artists” of the early nineteenth century during their sojourns in New Orleans, Natchez, and Vicksburg—portraits of both eminent Mississippians and of celebrities who had come South for the winter.
In the Old Southwest—as Louisiana and Mississippi were known—the most celebrated silhouette artists were Auguste Edouart and William Henry Brown. Edouart came to the United States from France in 1839, and in 1843 visited New Orleans and Natchez. “It was Edouart’s custom to cut his silhouettes from black-coated paper, doubled, thus creating two ‘originals’—one each for the sitter and himself,” Ward said. “Those that remained with the sitter—like the portrait of William Newton Mercer, from Lansdowne House Natchez—generally bear only a single inscription in Edouart’s own hand, identifying the subject and the place and date of execution.”
Brown is known for his portraits of famous politicians such as Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster. “His work is slightly less refined than that of Edouart, and unlike the Frenchman he seldom used white chalk, graphite, or metalpoint to embellish his silhouettes with decorative details,” Ward said.” A Closer Look presents a few examples of his work, including the remarkable narrative sequence which represents the transportation of cotton from Nitta Yuma Plantation to a nearby cotton gin.”
A Closer Look is a supplement to Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now, an exhibition at the Mississippi Museum of Art organized and circulated by the National Portrait Gallery.
Roger Ward is deputy director and chief curator of the Mississippi Museum of Art, with more than thirty years of curatorial, management, and teaching experience. A native of Wichita, Kansas, Ward graduated from the University of Kansas summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a double major in the History of Art and the History of Europe in the Renaissance. He studied as a Marshall Scholar, Chester Dale Fellow, and Kress Foundation Fellow at the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art of the University of London, from which he received both his MA and PhD degrees in sixteenth-century European art. Widely known for his expertise as a connoisseur of Italian drawings and paintings, Ward has lectured at museums around the world from New York to London to Sydney and at many venues in the United States such as The Frick Collection, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the J. Paul Getty Museum.
History Is Lunch is a weekly lecture series of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History that explores different aspects of the state's past. The hour-long programs are held in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Museum of Mississippi History and Mississippi Civil Rights Museum building in Jackson. MDAH livestreams videos of the program at noon on Wednesdays on their Facebook page,

General Henry Knox Mansion.Thomaston, Maine
Henry Knox (July 25, 1750 -- October 25, 1806) was a military officer of the Continental Army and later the United States Army, and also served as the first United States Secretary of War.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, he owned and operated a bookstore there, cultivating an interest in military history and joining a local artillery company. When the American Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, he befriended General George Washington, and quickly rose to become the chief artillery officer of the Continental Army. In this role he accompanied Washington on most of his campaigns, and had some involvement in many major actions of the war. He established training centers for artillerymen and manufacturing facilities for weaponry that were valuable assets to the fledgling nation.
Following the adoption of the United States Constitution, he became President Washington's Secretary of War. In this role he oversaw the development of coastal fortifications, worked to improve the preparedness of local militia, and oversaw the nation's military activity in the Northwest Indian War. He was formally responsible for the nation's relationship with the Indian population in the territories it claimed, articulating a policy that established federal government supremacy over the states in relating to Indian nations, and called for treating Indian nations as sovereign. Knox's idealistic views on the subject were frustrated by ongoing illegal settlements and fraudulent land transfers involving Indian lands.
He retired to what is now Thomaston, Maine in 1795, where he oversaw the rise of a business empire built on borrowed money. He died in 1806 from an infection received after swallowing a chicken bone, leaving an estate that was bankrupt.
CBS Network In The News - Acid Rain (1983)
Here's a segment of the kids news featurette, In The News - which deals with the subject of acid rain, and in particular its destructive effect on the plant and wildlife of the Big Moose Lake in upstate New York State and hundreds of other lakes in the Northeastern United States and Canada. A clip of Dr. Dwight Webster (a Cornell University scientist who bred a strain of brook trout that could better adapt and survive in acidic lakes) is briefly shown.
Also includes a commercial break for one of the many fine products of General Foods - more specifically, Post Alpha-Bits cereal, with an offer for an Alfie Animal Alphabet poster and two sets of stamps in specially marked boxes.
These aired between commercial breaks during Saturday morning cartoons on CBS affiliates from 1971 to 1986 (and was for that network what the long-running animated Schoolhouse Rock featurettes were for ABC). For many years, it was the one of the only times a CBS News production had theme music. This particular segment aired halfway through The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show (with bumper voiceover by Rick Dees).
Produced by CBS News. (C) MCMLXXXIII CBS Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Voiceover by Doug Poling.
This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, August 6th 1983 during the 10:25am to 10:30am timeframe.

Charleston SC Bridge Road View Tour
Charleston SC Bridge Road View Tour
Charleston is the second largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, surpassed only by the state capital of Columbia. Charleston is the county seat of the modern Charleston County.
In 1670, Charleston was originally named Charles Towne. It moved to its present location on Oyster Point in 1680 from a location on the west bank of the Ashley River known as Albemarle Point. Charleston adopted its present name in 1783. In 1690, Charleston was the fifth largest city in North America, and remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census.
Charleston is known as The Holy City perhaps by virtue of the prominence of churches on the low-rise cityscape, perhaps because, like Mecca, its devotees hold it so dear], and perhaps for the fact that Carolina was among the few original thirteen colonies to provide toleration for all Protestant religions, though it was not open to Roman Catholics. Many Huguenots found their way to Charleston. Carolina also allowed Jews to practice their faith without restriction. Current trends put Charleston as the fastest-growing municipality in South Carolina. The city's metropolitan area population was counted by the 2010 census at 664,607 -- the second largest in the state -- and the 75th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
The city of Charleston is located just south of the midpoint of South Carolina's coastline, at the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers, which flow together into the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston Harbor lies between downtown Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. Charleston's name is derived from Charles Towne, named after King Charles II of England.
In 2011, Charleston was named #1 U.S. City by Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards and #2 Best City in the U.S. and Canada by Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards. Also in 2011, Bon Appetit magazine named Husk, located on Queen Street in Charleston, the Best New Restaurant in America. America's most-published etiquette expert, Marjabelle Young Stewart, recognized Charleston 1995 as the best-mannered city in the U.S, a claim lent credibility by the fact that it has the first established Livability Court in the country. In 2011, Travel and Leisure Magazine named Charleston America's Sexiest City, as well as America's Most Friendly. Subsequently, Southern Living Magazine named Charleston the most polite and hospitable city in America. In 2012, Travel and Leisure voted Charleston as the second best-dressed city in America, only behind New York City.
South Carolina's Lowcountry holds a major place of importance in African-American history for many reasons, but perhaps most importantly as a port of entry for people of African descent. According to several historians, anywhere from 40 to 60 percent of the Africans who were brought to America during the slave trade entered through ports in the Lowcountry.
This has given the Lowcountry the designation among some as the Ellis Island for African Americans, although some dispute this term, as the Ellis Island immigrants arrived voluntarily as opposed to the Africans who were captured in the Atlantic slave trade.
According to Peter Wood in his book Black Majority: Negroes in Colonial South Carolina from 1670 to the Stono Rebellion, the successful cultivation of rice in the Lowcountry in the 1600s was a major factor in the importation of African labor. Sir Jonathan Atkins was quoted in 1680 as saying, Since people have found out the convenience and cheapness of slave labor they no longer keep white men, who formerly did the work on the Plantations. Joseph Corry, an Englishman who spent some time in what is now the West African nation of Sierra Leone, noted, Rice forms the chief part of the African's sustenance.
When further observation noted the skill of Africans in this region in cultivating rice, Africans from the vicinity of Sierra Leone and Ghana became especially sought-after by slave owners in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The demand for Africans in the rice-growing regions was such that, By the time the (South Carolina) colony's Proprietors gave way to a royal government in 1720, Africans had outnumbered Europeans for more than a decade.
According to Elaine Nichols of the South Carolina State Museum, Sullivan's Island, an island near Charleston, was a major port of entry for enslaved Africans. Her paper Sullivan's Island Pest Houses: Beginning an Archeological Investigation (1989), detailed the phenomenon of Pest Houses, that were used to quarantine Africans upon their arrival, for fear that the Africans would have contagious diseases. The Africans would often remain confined from 10 to 40 days and 200-300 at a time would sometimes remain in isolation in the pest houses. By 1793, residents of Sullivan's Island demanded that the pest houses be removed from the vicinity.
