Civil War veterans on video!
It's incredible to me to see actual Civil War veterans in Ken Burns's magnificent documentary. Some of those skinny old buzzards lived long enough to be recorded on video talking about their experiences.

It's a hoax. I have no idea what the source is but more than likely it's a piece of footage from some obscure silent film of the early-20th century.

The more-obscure the better, that way the hoaxer can be rest assured no one will recognize it. Not that most people are experts on early-20th century silent cinema anyway..

The oldest known piece of motion picture film is about 4 seconds of British people dancing in a backyard in the late-19th century.

Lemme see if I can grab the wiki page. It's pretty interesting.

It's actually only 2 seconds long. And it's from 1888. Still pretty fucking fascinating, and in it's own way, like time-travel.

It's called the Roundhay Garden Scene. Pretty cool stuff:

Very cool, thanks!

Have you seen the San Francisco 1906 footage with soundtrack by Air? Love that!
