Absolutely fascinating documentary from another time, about an even older time.

Cool stuff...my brother and me was talking about these old St. Louis documentaries the other night. I knew they had a few of them from the 1960s and brought to us by our local gas company and PBS...

Boston born I hadn't seen anything about this area of the USA, it's interesting and some of the images are amazing, now that I'm an old man it's funny how your perspective about time changes, now I look at a 100 years differently than when I was young.🇺🇸
