Not sure if there was anything that I learned beside the fact that Edwin S. Porter was the head of Edison's film division, but what I didn't know was that even though the worst blizzard was over trolleys, cabs and carriages were still active as ever. The blizzard occured in 1902, so it would connect to the Gilded Age/Progressive Era. The main sources used included Primary videos/photos. A question i have is what effective methods were used to clear the snow from the streets, or what precautions were taken?

I actually also learned, well, realized, that shoveling snow must be harder back then, since there's were no truck to plow the street, it didn't have much new technology. This connect to the time period of late 1800s and early 1900s. The source that were used in this article, is a video of primary footage, and primary picture. My question how did the public react to this storm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-69297277303156435292014-02-06T08:16:18.057-05:002014-02-06T08:16:18.057-05:00Horses, Horses, Horses.....Horses, Horses, Horses.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206380617235471991.post-18260401892101658252014-02-05T21:39:02.303-05:002014-02-05T21:39:02.303-05:00Get some films, photos of 1947-48.
