1
00:00:02,40 --> 00:00:05,45
In so many ways Henry
Ford was a simple ma'am.

2
00:00:06,65 --> 00:00:08,32
He liked to go camping with his friends.

3
00:00:10,79 --> 00:00:11,44
Bad storm status

4
00:00:11,44 --> 00:00:18,19
and behind him he enjoyed
old time country dancing.

5
00:00:20,71 --> 00:00:22,53
Areas with Oros the naturalist.

6
00:00:26,02 --> 00:00:30,95
Skating with his grandchildren.

7
00:00:32,10 --> 00:00:37,28
They plant a garden together and
read for the second and Benson.

8
00:00:37,29 --> 00:00:41,64
His first car the color that quadricycle.

9
00:00:41,66 --> 00:00:44,61
That's his wife Clara.

10
00:00:44,63 --> 00:00:49,74
He began with an idea that most people
thought wouldn't work but he made it work.

11
00:00:51,28 --> 00:00:54,47
And the tools he used were
common sense ingenuity

12
00:00:54,47 --> 00:01:00,07
and perseverance along with a Metro
instinct for knowing how to put machines

13
00:01:00,07 --> 00:01:04,36
together and make them run.

14
00:01:05,95 --> 00:01:11,20
It was born into a world of limited
horizons and though he left the farm

15
00:01:11,20 --> 00:01:12,50
that might have been his heritage.

16
00:01:13,65 --> 00:01:18,00
He never lost his love for the land and
the everlasting cycle of seed time

17
00:01:18,00 --> 00:01:20,10
and harvests.

18
00:01:20,12 --> 00:01:24,51
What he accomplished outmanned put
the burden of work on machines

19
00:01:25,72 --> 00:01:28,86
and broke the barriers of space and time.

20
00:01:28,88 --> 00:01:33,65
Of isolation and distance
his life was a paradox.

21
00:01:34,50 --> 00:01:38,85
While his mechanical genius helped to change
forever the lives of people everywhere.

22
00:01:40,28 --> 00:01:45,20
He sought to preserve in some permanent
form a record of the world around him

23
00:01:45,20 --> 00:01:51,21
and his ever widening interest in.

24
00:01:52,09 --> 00:01:55,04
He collected buildings the
way others collect stamps

25
00:01:56,17 --> 00:01:58,41
and put them in a village
where time stands still.

26
00:02:09,96 --> 00:02:11,60
Yes symbols acres of machines

27
00:02:11,60 --> 00:02:14,09
and put them under cover in
a vast historical museum

28
00:02:14,97 --> 00:02:19,55
and early he discovered the astonishing
capacity of the motion picture camera to

29
00:02:19,55 --> 00:02:20,94
document for all time.

30
00:02:21,12 --> 00:02:21,82
Whatever it saw

31
00:02:21,82 --> 00:02:27,77
when the crank was turned in April nine
hundred fourteen at his Highland Park plant.

32
00:02:28,34 --> 00:02:32,46
He organized a motion picture department
which through the years produced films

33
00:02:32,46 --> 00:02:33,63
that were shown in theaters

34
00:02:33,63 --> 00:02:38,45
and schools throughout the country
travelogues news reels and documentaries

35
00:02:39,18 --> 00:02:41,71
that touched on nearly every
facet of American life

36
00:02:51,94 --> 00:02:52,00
to

37
00:03:26,07 --> 00:03:32,70
this is the way the country looks
many years before the first rolling

38
00:03:32,71 --> 00:03:39,44
but often in excess of the man on
the farm works as his forefathers.

39
00:03:41,17 --> 00:03:43,32
It's a hard line man and.

40
00:04:06,16 --> 00:04:08,22
And a long day for the farmer's wife too

41
00:04:23,68 --> 00:04:25,11
many a quiet evening at home.

42
00:04:25,81 --> 00:04:27,30
Because there's no place to go

43
00:04:27,30 --> 00:04:34,23
and no light to read by a man thinks twice
before he goes to market on roads like

44
00:04:34,23 --> 00:04:39,99
this like.

45
00:04:40,01 --> 00:04:42,59
And sometimes he never even gets there.

46
00:04:53,31 --> 00:05:00,27
It's a long walk to school on a
muddy road more fun to go by

47
00:05:00,27 --> 00:05:07,12
sleigh in the winter during recess there's
time for a snowball fight of a climb

48
00:05:07,12 --> 00:05:11,90
up the old elm tree get to got the
spunk for daring deeds like this

49
00:05:20,22 --> 00:05:27,22
the one sure way to get
some places on a train one

50
00:05:35,77 --> 00:05:37,26
but you can only go where the tracks

51
00:05:37,26 --> 00:05:43,10
but.

52
00:05:43,89 --> 00:05:50,09
Life in the city moves at a slow pace.
This is Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.

53
00:05:50,89 --> 00:05:56,11
No trip to the Capitol is complete without
a tour of the White House President

54
00:05:56,12 --> 00:06:00,91
Wilson lives here down the
East. Through with it.

55
00:06:00,97 --> 00:06:09,72
Chandelier is shiny for.

56
00:06:11,76 --> 00:06:16,09
There's more hostile and bustle down
at the market Faneuil Hall in Boston

57
00:06:17,08 --> 00:06:24,17
or New York City on the Lower East Side.

58
00:06:26,70 --> 00:06:27,82
Always plenty to do

59
00:06:27,82 --> 00:06:34,66
and see in the big town ride the elevated
train all the way from the battery far up

60
00:06:34,66 --> 00:06:36,42
town.

61
00:06:41,73 --> 00:06:47,05
There's the Hippodrome one of
the big theater is in New York.

62
00:06:49,22 --> 00:06:54,40
Another way to see the city is a
boat ride around Manhattan I board.

63
00:06:57,34 --> 00:07:01,53
Watch out some cities that they may
try to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

64
00:07:07,14 --> 00:07:10,55
You were passing the battery
with its famous aquarium.

65
00:07:13,64 --> 00:07:15,16
There's a Navy cruiser reading for

66
00:07:21,18 --> 00:07:26,94
great ocean liners along the Hudson River
mighty tall buildings in New York City

67
00:07:29,55 --> 00:07:32,08
the fire building. Shaped like a triangle

68
00:07:33,19 --> 00:07:37,27
and the wall where the sixty
stories high tallest in the world

69
00:07:41,50 --> 00:07:48,31
that kind of peaceful

70
00:07:48,31 --> 00:07:50,74
over Riverside Drive.

71
00:07:52,16 --> 00:07:58,83
Grants to always one of the favorite
sites to see. Sunday in Central Park.

72
00:08:04,30 --> 00:08:10,70
There's no place like it for a leisurely
stroll or a boat ride on the lagoon.

73
00:08:33,37 --> 00:08:33,80
Grills

74
00:08:33,81 --> 00:08:44,97
and spills at Coney Island the

75
00:08:45,80 --> 00:08:46,30
old

76
00:08:54,18 --> 00:08:54,67
man is the

77
00:09:07,98 --> 00:09:20,35
man who has basically some boats
even get where the water's warm.

78
00:09:20,37 --> 00:09:25,71
And where do we go on vacation once
again you have to land a city of course

79
00:09:25,71 --> 00:09:29,30
snow that's not a real elephant.

80
00:09:29,57 --> 00:09:31,97
It's a hotel at the end of the boardwalk

81
00:09:31,97 --> 00:09:38,87
see smoke there waving

82
00:09:38,87 --> 00:09:41,60
out the elements on.

83
00:09:41,61 --> 00:09:42,80
The Atlantic Ocean

84
00:09:44,21 --> 00:09:51,11
and a few hearty acts of most
of the time to stroll along the

85
00:09:51,11 --> 00:09:55,05
boardwalk or ride along
the road to cheers.

86
00:10:02,50 --> 00:10:04,31
Every city has a pretty park.

87
00:10:05,52 --> 00:10:11,71
This is Belle-Isle near Detroit with lagoons
for a quiet afternoon ride in the mood.

88
00:10:13,13 --> 00:10:13,91
If you don't mind.

89
00:10:17,11 --> 00:10:22,79
Some like to dance while others gather
around the piano dualists in the winter the

90
00:10:22,79 --> 00:10:24,20
adventurous go Ice Baby.

91
00:10:29,12 --> 00:10:29,96
It's easy to know.

92
00:10:40,42 --> 00:10:46,54
By the really daring There's nothing like
the thrill of an ice boat on a cold day.

93
00:10:46,56 --> 00:10:48,66
By the fast track kind of toboggans

94
00:10:59,00 --> 00:11:01,01
and there's plenty of
speed at an auto race.

95
00:11:01,76 --> 00:11:09,43
Once again thanks.

96
00:11:12,06 --> 00:11:14,84
Buffalo Bill himself. William F.

great as an arrow nineteen sixteen

98
00:11:19,78 --> 00:11:23,85
and he's out on tour with his
circus again in the indoor dances.

99
00:11:25,43 --> 00:11:25,65
This is

100
00:11:34,70 --> 00:11:47,60
the opening of baseball season
time to throw out the first ball.

101
00:11:47,62 --> 00:11:49,59
Snapshots of other people we know.

102
00:11:50,01 --> 00:11:56,44
John Burrows the naturalist
ways to admirers.

103
00:11:57,98 --> 00:11:59,84
Luther Burbank an expert in.

104
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:05,10
Horticulture in his experiments he's
removed the spines from the cactus

105
00:12:08,53 --> 00:12:11,27
says it's good to eat
too. We'll take years.

106
00:12:11,35 --> 00:12:16,34
Word for Thomas Edison in San
Francisco in one hundred fifteen.

107
00:12:17,43 --> 00:12:24,21
He's out for a drive with his wife and
Mr and Mrs Harvey Firestone Joseph G.

108
00:12:24,21 --> 00:12:30,65
Can I'm a little noisy former speaker of
the House of Representatives Will Rogers

109
00:12:31,64 --> 00:12:33,29
America's favorite humorist

110
00:12:43,62 --> 00:12:47,27
out west of two hardy souls
visit greater national park

111
00:12:54,07 --> 00:12:55,57
a little short on equipment.

112
00:12:56,69 --> 00:12:57,38
Strong in

113
00:13:10,23 --> 00:13:11,34
the view is worth the effort.

114
00:13:11,60 --> 00:13:15,36
So they say all their goals day

115
00:13:15,36 --> 00:13:32,43
and it's

116
00:13:32,43 --> 00:13:35,41
not all play. There's still
work to be done them.

117
00:13:35,46 --> 00:13:37,56
No one limited seems to
our natural resources

118
00:13:47,20 --> 00:13:50,17
like cameraman can't
resist his little joke.

119
00:13:51,37 --> 00:13:56,39
You see a lot of women in the factories
now these girls are making footballs.

120
00:14:02,80 --> 00:14:05,82
These are making half.

121
00:14:05,84 --> 00:14:11,87
There is a difference.

122
00:14:11,89 --> 00:14:16,62
Down at the post office they're teaching
the girls to sort the myope one thing they

123
00:14:16,62 --> 00:14:22,69
learn in a hurry don't pick
up too many at once. Too bad.

124
00:14:23,93 --> 00:14:25,86
Here's a scene place where women to work

125
00:14:25,86 --> 00:14:40,58
and study to.

126
00:14:40,60 --> 00:14:44,21
Some men change their cars twice wouldn't.

127
00:14:44,23 --> 00:14:47,62
Machines do more and more of
the hard work these days.

128
00:14:49,65 --> 00:14:52,01
For instance here's the way
they assemble the spokes

129
00:14:52,01 --> 00:14:53,89
and make the wheels with the Model T.

130
00:14:53,89 --> 00:15:29,74
Ford in Highland Park Michigan.

131
00:15:30,83 --> 00:15:35,25
The eight hour workday ends and the
men go home. Mostly by trolley.

132
00:15:35,61 --> 00:15:43,60
Not many can afford to buy
a car of their own yet.

133
00:15:44,38 --> 00:15:47,44
These men went home long ago.

134
00:15:47,46 --> 00:15:53,03
When the War Between the States and
but the hardy survivors most blue

135
00:15:53,03 --> 00:15:58,28
and gray still meet together once a
year during new old acquaintances.

136
00:15:58,29 --> 00:16:04,16
It's one nine hundred seventy. Seen and
their camp that Vicksburg Mississippi.

137
00:16:05,46 --> 00:16:11,31
What memories famous and
they have fought their war.

138
00:16:12,44 --> 00:16:16,23
While these Rorie groups at Camp Custer
in Michigan are being trained to fight

139
00:16:16,23 --> 00:16:16,89
another war

140
00:16:22,79 --> 00:16:24,99
and call those out a news response

141
00:16:24,99 --> 00:16:34,46
and doozie asked.

142
00:16:42,00 --> 00:16:53,92
How can they know what lies ahead.

143
00:16:55,80 --> 00:16:59,25
Just a year ago we reelected
Woodrow Wilson as president.

144
00:17:00,73 --> 00:17:05,39
Now we're in a war we hope to avoid but
we're confident he'll lead us to victory.

145
00:17:07,45 --> 00:17:13,56
The mood of the nation changes. We talk
about Liberty Loan liberty cabbage.
