    Hi everyone! Three things:
    1. This project has an extended look documentary: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html.
    2. Even bigger, my documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is out now, and if you love New York history you will adore the story in the film: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html.
    3. I plan on making another New York film. If you'd like to support me, you can simply shop on Amazon with this link: amzn.to/2tXeffU. Or you can send donations to my Paypal or Venmo accounts at the email address jordanliles@gmail.com. The more money I make, the more old photographs I can purchase to use in documentaries!
    Thank you so much for watching my films. I really do appreciate all of you and your kindness.

    I am a lifetime historian and I must admit that I never really considered how much Brainerd contributed to early photography. I am also a lifelong equestrian and believe a then and now picture with all the myriad of draught animals that once provided the motive power for such a marvelous city, would be absolutely wonderful. I live on a ranch in rural New Mexico and most of my daily chores are not any different from the 1880s. I realize how truly foreign this seems whenever I talk with more urban dwellers. You know how amazed folks are with your time travel, amaze them a bit more with horses, fancy carriage turnouts, goat-drawn Governess carts, milk boys with dog, pulled sleds. etc. etc. You can't really go back in time, but there are an amazing amount of folks who still evoke an earlier time in the present, and they aren't aren't all Amish and named Yoder! thanks

    Thank you for watching my film! Two quick things. 1. If you wanted more time to see the before and after photos, or you wish the transitions went from old to new, check out this alternate video: ua-cam.com/video/U083YeeTOvE/v-deo.html. And 2. My latest documentary "The Sidewalks of New York" is a deeper New York history film that starts slow, but if you stick with it you'll see how it builds in a big way, and it's free and on UA-cam! I spent a year on it: ua-cam.com/video/hXM-g-UAJiA/v-deo.html.

      I agree. We do tend to idealize the past and forget about the poor health, racism and sexism that were so common place--but oh my god the grand architecture of some of civic buildings! That is something that is totally lost and will never come again. Plus middle class people didn't dress like slobs then either. Had to laugh at the black family at the beach in dress shoes and hats. We are so much better off today, but the esthetic/cultural ideal is gone.

      @bgarr99...the photographers of that era, particularly AJ Russell of the UP, Alfred Hart of CPRR, and Charles Savage of SLC, labored under difficulties we can only imagine and contemplate in wonderment. When we study the collodian wet-plate technique, juxtaposed with primitive conditions out West, A.J. Russell in particular, comes across as a superb, tenacious, technician. His large format exposures are masterpieces. They were rediscovered in the 1950's and later. Barry Colms, and the Oakland Museum in 1969, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the "Wedding of the Rails", published a book of A.J's photos in their original format, with descriptions. It's title is "Westward to Promontory", and is readily available. Another book, recently written, is Daniel Davis' "Across the Continent", a deep dive into Andrew Russell and his life. A good and fascinating read into a frontier photographer's life, and travails. Thanks.

    This video is outstanding! It is an inspiration for myself as I'm collecting information to do a video of this kind. When I see all the thumbs down, I have no choice but remember my beloved grandmother when used to say: "The only place where the majority of the people will say good things about you, it's at the funeral home..."

    I feel bad for kids crying about how today isn't the 1800s. Can't people be thankful? I highly doubt any of these people would last 3 days in the 1800s. I would pay to see these guys be born back then.

    Our life goes by without us knowing how fleeting our existence is. Soon the passions, desires and emotions that nested in our hearts will be forgotten. Maybe someone will capture an image and we will be remembered in the future, but it is the only thing left in this world of us.

    For those of you who think the clip is going too fast:
    Everybody!! All you have to do is control the pause (pause then play); this will permit you to study as buildings slowly disappear. Simply amazing and expertly compiled. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like this one because I can control what I see as the older buildings superimpose upon the newer ones and or remain the same. Love it!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't mean to get so excited.
