Summary

This Prelinger Archives film is a compilation of images and sequences from the Ford Film Collection, with excellent footage of United States history, culture, industry, and daily life between about 1915 and 1930. Highlights include Coney Island, the increasing pervasiveness of the automobile in American life, and early manufacturing footage. This first part concentrates on American life from 1914 to the mid 1920s. We see rural life, factory footage, scenes of presidents and celebrities, a great deal of material from World War I, and images that show how the introduction of the car altered the social fabric and family dynamics.
