My grandfather died last year at the age of 101. In the 1920s he had interactions with a men that was 100 years old who was living in the same house. The men was born in the 1820s.
I have a similar story. My grandfather is now 92 years old. When he was a year old, in 1933, he sat on the lap of his great grandmother who was 107 years old. Yeah... She was born the same year Beethoven died!
Remembering is important. Mr Nims was only 28 years older than my Grandmother. I would curl up next to her in her bed and listen to her tell stories about her life and the world in which she grew up and the people she knew.. There was something very comforting in forging these connections with the past which gave me a strong sense of belonging. I told her stories and my own to my children and now pass these stories on to my own grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.
My grandma is 96 and I still go to her house every Wednesday and prod her into telling stories. 😂 I love to hear them and she loves to tell them. She's a wonderful woman and has lived a great and full life.
It is May 29, 2023 and I am watching a video of a man who was born in 1866 and more than likely knew people born in the latter part of the 1700's, wow.
My father did a homestead in Alaska in the early 1950s. If i remember him correctly he received 100 acres of land and needed to only live on it for 2 years and add electricity and water from a well. Where we lived we needed to drill down at least 300 foot before hitting water and you had to be extremely careful not to build a house on top of permafrost otherwise your house would sink when the house warms the ground. Rural Alaska was an interesting place for me to grow up as a kid.
@@cindyrobertson3798 Actually my dad subdivided the land and sold it off in lots in the late 70s as North Pole started to be a bit more of a small town. He used the money to buy an airplane and we used to take weekend vacations to both Chena and Circle hot springs. He also built a second house that was larger and sold both in 1987 when we moved to the Missouri Ozarks to live in his retirement with a pontoon boat on the lake.
@@cindyrobertson3798 Also my dad knew Bob Ross as he was stationed at Eielson AFB at the same time and bought a lot of his Alaska paintings on canvas and on Gold Pans. They are probably worth some money now but my sister has them now after both my parents passed away.
These videos are fascinating, allowing us to hear and see the past in the present .... it seems incredible to listen to someone born over 140 years ago. Amazing and educational, thank you.
I am 64 and was blessed to spend a lot of time with my paternal great grandparents as a boy They were Oscar Leedom and Nellie Jane (Cook) Bradford who were born in 1888 and 1890 Both were descendants of Pilgrims who came on the Mayflower He was a descendant of William Bradford who became the Governor of the first colony at Plymouth Rock Massachusetts
Too cool. Here’s some funny facts. I work with a direct descendant of William Bradford and my great grandfather was a Cook. Name wise I mean not as in a cook in the kitchen 😂
My grandfather who raised me passed away at the age of 93 almost 94 last fall. He grew up in northeast Georgia, and remembered seeing the elderly civil war veterans coming to church and having a seat of honor each Sunday. Some wore their dress frock coats, or pieces of their old uniforms in all their finery. They would come to the ice cream socials and watermelon feasts and would tell the kids stories… It was incredible hearing this from someone who heard and saw them first hand, remembering everything in such detail. I miss my Granddad and I’m very grateful to see these recordings. ❤
My grandfather was born in 1866. I was born in 1946. He died when I was 7 years old, so I only have a vague memory of him. I wish it would have been when I was older, so I could have remembered his stories.

@@ladybolski not all land was stolen. many of it was unclaimed and there were literally agreements as well. lets also not forget native stole land from natives. the way i see it many of it was not stealing as tribes controlled land which never really looked at it as owning them. therefore the european tribes ended up being stronger and took it and then claimed ownership.
Thank you! How interesting. This was back when this was indeed the land of opportunity. Eugene Nims was a great man! I've been interested in genealogy and I'm glad to have a peek what it was like back then.
Bravo for supplying subtitles, as it is sometimes hard to understand what these old timers are saying. Wish he had offered more stories when this was recorded.
my grandmother, Mina Smith Sherman Richter, had her grandfather's journals. He married before the Civil War. I still have the bookcase and a photo of him from the war. She kept his journals(books handwritten) that were dated from the 1850s through 1917. They were in her home in Kansas City in the attic. Tried to tell the family about where stuff was but they were too busy grinding out money to care.
Cathleen, I'm so very sorry the relatives didn't look for and find those amazing hand written family journals dated from the 1850s through 1917. I'm sorry to say when you wrote "they were too busy grinding out money to care", it occurred to me they did find them and sold them for a lot of money! :( Breaks my heart they'd do something like that, but that's the way of some people nowadays. No honor. At least you have the memories of these precious journals that will live on forever in your mind. That is what I have to tell myself when I think of all of my pictures and things that have been stolen in the last 10 years or so. See you in Heaven, doesn't sound like some of your family are going to make it :/
We need this now more than ever. America and Americans have a unique history; one that created the greatest nation on earth. We need values now more than ever. Corporate greed is destroying our country. A most important quotation from this episode, “I realize now than I did then that our objective and intention was to give service more than it was to get a financial return.” God Bless America.
Green Hornet, I couldn't agree with you more!!! Well said. But the greedy have the MONEY and that equals POWER and they don't care about anyone other than themselves. I don't see people with values making it into a position where they would be able to return this great country to it's core values of the past. Sorry. Even the police don't "Serve and Protect" any more. I used to have such great admiration for them. I don't know anyone who admires what they've turned into now :/
My grandparents were born in the late 1800s they have been gone for a while now but I so wish I would have asked them so many questions about their childhood and growing up in those times.
M'kay, thank you for reminding us. I have to admit, and I'm ashamed, but I didn't think of what all this meant to the indigenous people (American Indians). When you think of the atrocities that were perpetrated on the American Indians, besides hanging your head in shame, support legislation that favors returning a little bit of what was taken from the American Indians! It can't make up for all the pain and suffering, but at least we acknowledge the injustice, and try to make amends. We all readily acknowledge the atrocity of slavery in the south, but not the wholesale enslavement and murder of a nation of indigenous people. Just my opinion.
Heck, you could impress some of the kiddies today. That said, many of them might call you an -ist or a -phobe and ask you about your plantation or life before modern amenities.
Several early 1930s movies had actors born before the Civil War, usually played elderly relatives of the stars. A former neighbor was born in 1874 and died in 1977. What history she saw.
Back in those days they were phenomenal at articulation and oratory. I guess that’s because there wasn’t much else to do besides working with the earth and one another.
This was an interesting time that doesn't get much attention. Now that I think of it, other than a few politicians, I can't really name any famous people that were born between the end of the civil war and 1880.
Albert Einstein - relativity , Marie Curie - two Nobel Prizes, Ernest Rutherford- split the atom, William Somerset Maughm - writer, FDR- President, Churchill -stood up to Adolf.
@@tm3008 I did think of a few non-politicians after I wrote this: The Wright brothers, Harry Houdini, Honus Wagner, Frank Lloyd Wright. So obviously there are a bunch, but I had to put some serious thought into it. It's not like 1880 - 1900 where you can just name any 1920's movie star or athlete.

It's too bad he didn't speak of his firsthand experience and knowledge of all the violence, from genocide to land theft, that created states like Oklahoma. We only know about such things mostly through history books, but to hear someone speak about it with a recorded voice would make it so much more real to most people. Unfortunately, the victims are rarely given a platform of speech, much less recorded for all of posterity, as true today as back then.
My Grandpa was born in 1900 and he was a Bank Manager. He told me that in the early 1930's during the Great Depression there were incidents of people bringing in rolled quarters with a few quarters on each end but filled with washers in between.
My white family took advantage of the land runs. Like my Great grandfather in Alabama who owned many slaves, I feel shame for what they did! They lived on Creek land and Muscogee land, and treated the rightful owners badly! This is a generational debt! My heart hurts when I hear talk like his. 😢
Well, again I' ll have to say what this woman said in this book, in the back of " Everyday life in Colonial Times" but she wrote in her " modern times", in the year 1899, she said everybody in this country USA, they made their own bread, and made their own clothes - I wish she said alot MORE than that.
@@patriciatimmerman2625 Not ignorant. It is true. War and conquest have been features of civilization since time immemorial. That includes the native Americans. They were brutalizing each other long before the white man came over. They had African slaves as well. They raped women, killed men and kids, stole people from other tribes to be slaves. They stole land from competing tribes. Colonialism was the way of the world. War was (and unfortunately still is) the way of the world. It isn't my problem that you lack historical context of any kind.
Technically the desert BLM lands out west are open to homesteading to this day. It is called the "Desert Lands Act". The "Homestead Act" is history, but the DLA is still active. You have to produce an economically viable crop though, so it might be tough. Maybe Jojoba or something would work. I don't think ranching counts. It's been a while since I looked at it.
@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst Thank you for the wonderful information. I'm too old, born in 1946, but wouldn't it be wonderful if some young enterprising person did this?
@@patriciatimmerman2625 I'd like to see it. I had thought about it about 10 or 15 years ago. The trick is I think BLM still has to approve after you meet all the requirements (the government agency, not the civil rights group). But they can't stop you from trying it, and that gives you the right to live on that land for a number of years. You'd have to grow some type of crop and take records of the economics of it. Still something would be viable, like Jojoba, mesquite, etc. And I don't think ranching counts, it has to be grown crops.
I'm guessing a lot of us used to listen to our grandparents tell the stories and that we are the ones who subscribe to this channel. Maybe some of this is scribers are the ones that wish they could have listened to their grandparents but they didn't have much of an opportunity for whatever reason. I'd be interested to know if my conclusions are correct. If somebody would like to reply please do so. Maybe less don't why you weren't able to listen but you wish you had been able to. Or less know that you did listen and give us your favorite story.
If you want to understand Racism, understand that the US Government took the land already promised to Native Americans, gave it to new White immigrants and newly freed slaves had little opportunity to acquire land and were forced to flee North to large cities. White Immigrants, were able to get free farmland that many of them still have in their family to this day.
Anthony Bassette, thank you for reminding us. I too got so wrapped up in history, I forgot how much the indigenous people of this country suffered. I'm sorry and ashamed. We can't make up for the pain, suffering, and murder, but we can support legislation that gives a tiny bit back to the American Indian of what we stole.
“…our object was to give service more than it was to get a financial return.” This is s seemingly outdated, minority-held idea nowadays in our anything-goes monopoly capitalism country, isn’t it?
LET THIS BE A REMINDER THAT SLAVERY WASN’T ALL THAT LONG AGO. The land run of 1893…. 40 acres and a mule. Look up why Oklahoma is shaped the why that it is. Lmaoooo wow
Sad knowing what invaders did to exploit the land of red Indians , yet Americans think we exploited India 🇮🇳 yes we did but we didn’t invade and sell land . Nobody should own any land the planet 🌎 belongs to the people .
@@jesseleeward2359 Don't argue with me boy. I've known and understood this subject DECADES before you were even born. I'm sick and tired of you "know it all' KIDS trying to "educate" us older folks all the time. THE 1800s, i.e. 1800-1899, (or 1801-1900) is the CENTURY known as the 19th CENTURY. Every stinking body in the world, BESIDES YOU, knows that.
Refer you to history of Indian removal and then African American slavery. This is a sad and sorry history that should be taught, and may well not be properly taught today.

@@sarahg2653 Sarah G, shame on you!!! Your ignorant comment is beneath contempt.
@@patriciatimmerman2625 Not ignorant. It is true. War and conquest have been features of civilization since time immemorial. That includes the native Americans. They were brutalizing each other long before the white man came over. They had African slaves as well. They raped women, killed men and kids, stole people from other tribes to be slaves. They stole land from competing tribes. Colonialism was the way of the world. War was (and unfortunately still is) the way of the world. It isn't my problem that you lack historical context of any kind.
Did he really mean that last line or was he doing it to promote his company? 🤔
He just means a co-op; there are still telephone companies organized that way now. Mostly in rural places.
Times could change to say all that will be for better and for worse.
Imagine 160 acres today.... wow
Technically the desert BLM lands out west are open to homesteading to this day. It is called the "Desert Lands Act". The "Homestead Act" is history, but the DLA is still active. You have to produce an economically viable crop though, so it might be tough. Maybe Jojoba or something would work. I don't think ranching counts. It's been a while since I looked at it.
@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst Thank you for the wonderful information. I'm too old, born in 1946, but wouldn't it be wonderful if some young enterprising person did this?
@@patriciatimmerman2625 I'd like to see it. I had thought about it about 10 or 15 years ago. The trick is I think BLM still has to approve after you meet all the requirements (the government agency, not the civil rights group). But they can't stop you from trying it, and that gives you the right to live on that land for a number of years. You'd have to grow some type of crop and take records of the economics of it. Still something would be viable, like Jojoba, mesquite, etc. And I don't think ranching counts, it has to be grown crops.
Awesome
Pretty crazy to realize that this country is only 3 people lifetime's year old.
I’d be a homesteader in a second. The USA got tired of taking land though :(
Has he met Arthur Morgan?
Probably a few outlaws that inspired his character
What year video was made ?
1930’s definitely
School kids in Oklahoma better not miss this
1866... Napoléon III était encore empereur en France.
I like this guy.
I'm guessing a lot of us used to listen to our grandparents tell the stories and that we are the ones who subscribe to this channel. Maybe some of this is scribers are the ones that wish they could have listened to their grandparents but they didn't have much of an opportunity for whatever reason. I'd be interested to know if my conclusions are correct. If somebody would like to reply please do so. Maybe less don't why you weren't able to listen but you wish you had been able to. Or less know that you did listen and give us your favorite story.
that wasn't his way - he lived in a mansion - i sleep UNDER my friend's house
If you want to understand Racism, understand that the US Government took the land already promised to Native Americans, gave it to new White immigrants and newly freed slaves had little opportunity to acquire land and were forced to flee North to large cities. White Immigrants, were able to get free farmland that many of them still have in their family to this day.
Groups should act in their own interest. Back then White Americans acted in their own interest, which is good.
When was this filmed
I am third generation born in Alfalfa County, OK. This man does not have an Okie accent at all. 😂
pioneers in a pioneer territory? I think he means they were trespassing in indian territory, yet again! but by this time im sure that was no big deal
Anthony Bassette, thank you for reminding us. I too got so wrapped up in history, I forgot how much the indigenous people of this country suffered. I'm sorry and ashamed. We can't make up for the pain, suffering, and murder, but we can support legislation that gives a tiny bit back to the American Indian of what we stole.
"We were pioneers in a pioneer territory" -- Nazis used to tell the same when they were in France
Got a picture of my ancestors Sooner mud hut. Enid OK
Land rushes. You mean land theft. Eee-yah!!!
But that land was already occupied
P. Jane Ayers, thank you for reminding us. It was stolen land from the indigenous people. Shameful. Greed.
What year was this film made?
1930
Zaro ağa (aga) lived 157 years in ottoman empire (1774/77-1934).. 😅

“…our object was to give service more than it was to get a financial return.” This is s seemingly outdated, minority-held idea nowadays in our anything-goes monopoly capitalism country, isn’t it?

"INDIAAAAAAN Territory!

No, just doesn't have the same ring to it.

This video is missing what year this video was taken :/
Hello 👋
Wow man has the world really gone to crap over time…..no turning this sinking ship around .
LET THIS BE A REMINDER THAT SLAVERY WASN’T ALL THAT LONG AGO. The land run of 1893…. 40 acres and a mule. Look up why Oklahoma is shaped the why that it is. Lmaoooo wow
Sad knowing what invaders did to exploit the land of red Indians , yet Americans think we exploited India 🇮🇳 yes we did but we didn’t invade and sell land . Nobody should own any land the planet 🌎 belongs to the people .
I HANG OUT WITH HIM !!!!

Not 1800s, 19th century
The 1800s was the 19th century.
@@brianmatthews4323 if 1900s is 1900 to 1910, then 1800s should be 1800 to 1810.
19th century is the right term.
1800s is just one decade.
@@jesseleeward2359 Don't argue with me boy. I've known and understood this subject DECADES before you were even born.
I'm sick and tired of you "know it all' KIDS trying to "educate" us older folks all the time.
THE 1800s, i.e. 1800-1899, (or 1801-1900) is the CENTURY known as the 19th CENTURY.
Every stinking body in the world, BESIDES YOU, knows that.
Refer you to history of Indian removal and then African American slavery. This is a sad and sorry history that should be taught, and may well not be properly taught today.
The American conquest of the continent was good and just and right. There was nothing abominable about it.
Basically it was a land grab, lol. Oklahoma, there's a state that's a complete embarrassment to the Union, and always has been, huh? 🤣
