My beloved Mom + and may GOD rest her soul + a native of New Orleans was Louis Armstrong's childhood tutor! She taught him how to read!

Jimmy Carter will be 100 if he lives until at least October 1st. If he does, he’ll make history of being America’s first president to live a century.

I enjoy long walks on short beaches.

1920. Only dreamed. Now we being rocked. Hard.!

[@garychristison763]

It seems a little too glowing. No refridgerators, only ice boxes, no air conditioning or washing machines. Only 1% had indoor plumbing. Most roads outside of the cities were not paved. My grandfather said how thrilled he was to get a tractor, but that was in the 30's. I bet most farmers in the 20's were still using horse drawn equipment. Electricity use was ramping up but it wasn't common. My grandmother said a wood stove for cooking really sucked. Toilet paper may have been pages ripped out of a catalog. Lindbergh hadn't crossed the Atlantic yet, making airplanes still a bit of a novelty. Interesting footage but it makes sense that you are mostly going to get the upper crust.

Wallace Reid died the year before

[@glennmessina-vz6ip]

Many good clips but your Sea Hawk clips are from the 1940 Errol Flynn movie not the 1924 silent movie.

My Dad was two years old, my Mom, one year old. Damn I feel old.

[@HistoryOfLife123]

Wow! That's quite fascinating, Franny! I'm sure they had lots of stories to tell of their childhoods in the 1920s. 😲

My Father was 10 yrs old and my Mother was 8 yrs old. Life goes by really fast.

I think this lady gave a good narration, to a good historical documentary.

[@HistoryOfLife123]

Why thank you, Sir! We're glad you enjoyed our historical documentary 🥰

[@chadsimmons6347]

@@HistoryOfLife123 Your upload was junk! Nothing about 1924 construction, most wanted criminals, most popular food recipies, best movies in theaters, newest science discoveries? You can do better!

[@rayfridley6649]

The world of tunnel design and construction lost a great innovator, Clifford M. Holland, who was involved in the Hudson River motor vehicle tunnel building. This was the first mechanically ventilated passageway making it safe to drive without fear of carbon monoxide poisonings. It would be known as the Hudson motor vehicle tunnel. Holland died unexpectedly on October 27, 1924. The construction continued until its completion in 1927. It would be renamed the Holland Tunnel, in memorial to Clifford.

One of the biggest mistakes I made was not asking my grandparents what it was like to live then. Huge mistake!!! 😢 They were young with young children in 1924.

[@HistoryOfLife123]

Awww, we feel you on that. I'm sure your grandparents would have shared a wealth of information about their lives in 1924. Nonetheless, thank you for stopping by our channel. Hope to hear from you again, Yvonne! 😄

[@susanb2015]

We all made that mistake. My grandparents were born in the 1800s.

i could have done with a different narrator voice...but decent video

Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching nonetheless! 🙂

That damn vocal Fry . IiIIIIIIiIII!!!

[@rickmadron3120]

Love the voice!

[@mimilookamie8019]

Normally wouldn't mention it but since you are so obviously attempting to "mimic Mary Hart".... We can still hear your accent. That is why you're using the fake voice right? To hide your accent? Yeah it's still there. We can totally hear it.

There was no trans back then. Les

[@samutsakon]

Very painful to watch

[@bevgordon7619]

Why?

[@samutsakon]

It's repetitive, slow and lacks any meaningful information. It also has monotonous narration, and features a really annoying introduction.@@bevgordon7619

[@yvonneplant9434]

Yes, why???

[@birddog3130]

A little to much history before 1924........stick to the facts or change the title. bye.

[@HistoryOfLife123]

Okay got it, thanks for the tip! ☺
