My own great-grandfather was 15/16 at the time, but living in a rural village in the impoverished hinterland of Campania, Italy, a real backwater of a place, then and now! He would make the crossing to the New World in 1913, finding employment as a mason in Westchester County, NY, before returning to his homeland sometime between 1914-20 for reasons unknown but probably war-related, as his second passage back to America in 1920 was paid for by the Italian Government, suggesting some kind military or government service by him in the interim. His wife only emigrated to the U.S. in 1921, indicating to me that he, as with many other Italian immigrants migrating without their wives or family, initially had no plan of staying permanently in America. He did finally settle down here, siring four American-born children, finding success as a contractor only to lose it all in the Depression, and dying at the age of 52 from tuberculosis, which in the pre-antibiotic era was a terribly lethal disease. Great-grandpa died nearly 58 years before I was born, so there was little chance of my meeting him even if he had lived longer!
@@jimhattery4348 why on earth would anyone want to go back in time to when people didn't even know what vitamins were? When they didn't know what caused heart attacks ?

The men are slender as well. Didn’t eat the processed crap that has made Americans overweight/unhealthy. “If mankind makes it don’t eat it. If it grows, eat it.” Words to live by.
That’s what happens when you’re too poor too afford a hearty diet, and have one that consists of potato skins, and Vegetables from the garden, it’s still the same nowadays, it’s just that after refrigeration and automation of cattle farms,z meat became widely available and a more common staple among the American diet, people got fat.

@@Practicalinvestments- Meat doesn't make people fat, it makes them lean. We need protein. Vegetables are vitamins. Potatoes mostly starch. It's portion sizes and all the endless sugar and salt.

As someone who still works heavy horses daily it is wonderful to see an entire city moving at the pace of the horse. It adds a nobility and grace to human existence to match our pace of life with such intelligent creatures. It is good for the soul in my experience.
They would certainly be pleased they didn’t have to suffocate in summer and freeze in winter, they would be pleased to be free of the fear of tuberculosis, typhoid, diphtheria, any number of bacterial infections. They would be pleased to have all manner of legal protections and not to be exploited in the work place as a matter of course. You people who idealize a past you never experienced really need to learn how grim life was for most people (and short too) and thank your lucky stars, if you’re an average Joe or Jane, that you live now not then.
You may need a translator. I'm sure many of these folks didn’t speak English. This was the time when mass immigration from Europe happened during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many of them were Italians, Polish and Germans.
I always look back a these pictures and videos looking for my Grandfather hoping too see him He came to New York back in 1903 With his mother he would have been 3 years old miss him
This video, with its haunting background music, has a dream-like quality-just like life itself. "We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
I believe that about 90% of us tend to completely forget that ALL of the horses had to 'relieve' themselves all over the city streets. That was an unsightly thing.
People are relieving themselves all over the streets now never mind the poor horses in the film reel. Standards of human behaviour since then have hit rock bottom. People are disgusting now in their morals, their dress, and in their foul mouths. No matter the hardships back then, at least people knew how to present themselves in public.
My grandmother was born in Germany in 1902. She lived through the time of Wilhelm II. The First World War. The Weimar Republic. The Third Reich. The Second World War. Then the Federal Republic of Germany. In East Germany socialism. A whole life full of hardship and deprivation. Like so many
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is liar and murderer. This is the reason why liars and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)
@dsm2240 A country was divided. Families were brutally torn apart. My grandmother and her sister were finally separated when the wall was built in 1961.
I thought the same thing, so chaotic! People just walking around willy nilly, in front of moving "vehicles", yikes! I wonder when traffic became more structured...? Googling now! 😊
Medicine in that era was terrible, there were no antibiotics or effective drugs. But the food was natural, without preservatives, without chemicals, without GMOs.
Yup. Started with printed t-shirts then baseball hats, then wallpapering our skin, our faces. Esp bad to see women's skin papered and not smooth and soft bc of tattoos everywhere1
3:34 I'm pretty sure that horseless buggy is an electric taxi if you could believe it. No horse, no exhaust and a big motor mounted on the front axle. Could also be steam but it's fascinating that electric taxis were popular in nyc. Jay leno has one of them. Very interesting.
No creo que lo sea pues era la moda de esa época entre la gente rica, estaban bien vestidos pues además en ese tiempo, eso de ir al centro de la ciudad o lugares importantes era pretexto para usar su mejor vestimenta.
Those dresses were not so modest. I used to be a historical reenactor, and under those skirts, the underwear had to be crotchless. You can't pull panties down and back up when you wear corsets and petticoats. So a married woman having a sex with the milkman would be easier to do than today. Most of the ideas we have about the past are false. Think about it: there's a reason we haven't gone back to it in a hundred years.
@@victoriajesusismysaviorthey didn't do it out of respect. They did it because they didn't have the elastic that gives us modern women's lingerie. Those skirts were the most practical solution to how to go to the toilet, since women have to sit or squat. Under those long shirts the underwear was crotchless. I used to be a historical reenactor at a state park, this is how I know. Once technology gave us elastic we could use in lingerie, we cut our skirts short, put on pants, and NEVER looked back.
Just to add another notch to your comment....I have seen videos of people finding lost graves. Graves from back then or before that were forgotten about and had been taken over by nature. These things really are a reminder that life is short and eventually we will become distant memory as time moves on.
In these times people are lived their lives,today people don't live life but empty careerism.elites through the years created such human with tools of social engineering-(like media, populism,kitch, wrong values,sick school system)-because empty careerist is ideal type of human for total control.
I am hypnotised by this video. Watching it over and over again. My only wish while watching, is that I could somehow jump into the vid and say hello to the people, may I buy you a coffee ma’m/sir ? Shall we share stuff about our lives, May I meet the people you live with and love ?
It's amazing to see real footage. There are so many untold stories of people we might have liked to have known more about. My dad came to New York in 1906 at the age of 3 from italy , so it was probably very similar to this. Fascinating footage. Thank you.
Only if you were white, male, and straight. Think of all the brilliant people who were members of minority communities whose potential was wasted because they weren't allowed to work it could only get second-rate "separate but equal" educations. How many engineers could only work in stables? How many doctors, lawyers and teachers had to stay home and do housework? It was a shitty time when people considered themselves over the hill by 45. They didn't even know what caused heart attacks it that smoking causes cancer. They didn't even have antibiotics, do you could cut your finger and die of the infection. Think about what you have. Really think about it. Vitamins? They didn't know about those back then. They thought opium was good for quieting crying babies. Shitty shitty shitty time.
Crimes were high and they blamed it on Italian and Irish immigrants. People lived in poverty. Newly arrived immigrants settled in the lower east side Manhattan. It was a slum area and the city smelled like horse poop.
@@sharonrose50 The speed of life is always the same. What is different is the density, its saturation in every inch -- events, emotions, activations, cataclysms.
Just think that during this time period the Statue of Liberty was still a dark copper color and hadn't turned to it's famous patina green color yet!! 🗽
These films were mostly taken in the business district. If you went to neighborhoods like the Bowery or other slums it would have been anything but clean and pretty.
My g-parents emigrated from Hungary in 1899 and 1905 and my dad was born in Manhattan in 1909. They lived and died (g-parents did) in NYC . Nice to see a little of what they had seen.....
Actually, violent crime rates are lower now than ever in human history. We know this from studying statistics in modern years, court records from centuries ago, and archaeological human bones from the ancient past. It's just that news outlets make more money covering crime than, say, how the graduating class in your locality scored on the SAT test last spring.
Crime was high cuz they were living in poverty. Many Italian and Irish immigrants were gangsters. This was the time when mass immigration from Europe happened. Italians were hated so much and people called them WOPs (without papers). They didn’t speak English and always committing crimes.
Crime was high cuz of mass immigration from Europe. The Italians and Irish were menace to society. They were gangsters committing crimes like pickpocketing, rape, murders...etc.
A quick bit of Googling told me that the first US skyscrapers were built in the *1880s,* when mills were able to produce steel construction beams. Like now, NYC was a major business and financial capital; the growth of construction over two decades isn't surprising.
It was the best of times it was the worst of times. Less pollution, great optimism, technology was in its infency. On the other hand so was medicine and communication and let's not forget a terrible war and global pandemic which were connected just on the horizon.
100 years from now people will look at the comments and say about us that they all are dead now. And 100 years later they all will be dead. We are not the first nor are we the last.
Many people always talk about how all the people in these old films are already dead. We should be better happy about what these people were like back then and what the time was like, otherwise we would be much worse off today!
Those people probably considered all of that as chaotic and were relieved to just get home . Cant imagine what those same journeys would be like for them today . Imagine walking around new York without sirens and car horns. Just millions of clip clops of hooves and metal wagon wheels.
11/2024.....The oldest artifact in my house presently, sitting on a table across the room is a Edison Cylinder Phonograph. ( A black colored resin cylinder, with recorded music on it, engraved onto the resin.) It was being sold in 1901.
Times were tough. We have it easy compared to then. No modern technology, no computers, people were working. No HR. People worked long hours. People did face to face communication. Men worked in offices as secretaries. NYC was crowded then but in a more understanding way. No times square commercialization.

My g-parents emigrated from Hungary in 1899 and 1905 and my dad was born in Manhattan in 1909. They lived and died (g-parents did) in NYC . Nice to see a little of what they had seen.....
Crime was low
Today’s migrants are a different kind.
Actually, violent crime rates are lower now than ever in human history. We know this from studying statistics in modern years, court records from centuries ago, and archaeological human bones from the ancient past.
It's just that news outlets make more money covering crime than, say, how the graduating class in your locality scored on the SAT test last spring.
Crime was high cuz they were living in poverty. Many Italian and Irish immigrants were gangsters. This was the time when mass immigration from Europe happened. Italians were hated so much and people called them WOPs (without papers). They didn’t speak English and always committing crimes.
Crime was high cuz of mass immigration from Europe. The Italians and Irish were menace to society. They were gangsters committing crimes like pickpocketing, rape, murders...etc.
I really enjoyed this. The women were so elegant. And the buildings were higher than I would expect for the time.
A quick bit of Googling told me that the first US skyscrapers were built in the *1880s,* when mills were able to produce steel construction beams. Like now, NYC was a major business and financial capital; the growth of construction over two decades isn't surprising.
This is how ladies and gentlemen should dress!
الدنيا كدبة لا احد سيبقى فيها .اتمنى للجميع ان يكون سعيد في عالم اخر ❤
People were still complaining that rent was $24 a month.
If you paid in US gold coinage with a $20 gold piece and four silver dollars, that would be around $2360 in today's fiat currency.
@@bobertjones2300 sounds about right for a 4×4 closet studio in NY
The fps seems to be a tiny bit slow but is fun to watch and imagine.
It was the best of times it was the worst of times. Less pollution, great optimism, technology was in its infency. On the other hand so was medicine and communication and let's not forget a terrible war and global pandemic which were connected just on the horizon.
There was PLENTY of pollution - wood and coal for heating, no controls on factory waste, etc. It wasn't the pristine time many people think.
that 8th October 1902 those curious people could never have imagined being seen in 2024 ... much less on these devices.... truly fascinating
My Grandparents were babies.
Everybody was very well dressed , very elegant.
100 years from now people will look at the comments and say about us that they all are dead now. And 100 years later they all will be dead. We are not the first nor are we the last.
WOW!!! Just amazing.
They were then as we are now...as we are now, we shall soon be how they are today..
Not really
@ivo3598 How do you figure ?
Beautifully presented!👏🏽👏🏽
Many people always talk about how all the people in these old films are already dead.
We should be better happy about what these people were like back then and what the time was like, otherwise we would be much worse off today!
This nation has gone to Hell because of liberal ideology! Wokeism has destroyed America!
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...
Are those electric trolleys? There's no cable.
Steam underneath I believe.
Cable cars like the ones that still operate in San Francisco. There’s a moving cable that’s gripped by the car in a slot between the rails.
Boy look at all hard working people 😮
Look at those HUGE construction vehicles hauling boulders for all the stone buildings!
Ever hear of concrete?
Those people probably considered all of that as chaotic and were relieved to just get home . Cant imagine what those same journeys would be like for them today . Imagine walking around new York without sirens and car horns. Just millions of clip clops of hooves and metal wagon wheels.
Not a single lady is Naked on the street
Beautiful. 😊
11/2024.....The oldest artifact in my house presently, sitting on a table across the room is a Edison Cylinder Phonograph. ( A black colored resin cylinder, with recorded music on it, engraved onto the resin.) It was being sold in 1901.
Amazing picture of those people from all cultures that built America. God bless them all.
Que linda época mucha tranquilidad .Gracias
Beautiful and amazing.
Increíble país muy hermoso saludos desde Argentina ❤😮😂😂😂
❤🎉Спасибо за видео !🎉❤
это волнительно видеть жизнь наших предков !
И трамваи едут без проводов !
электрокары как бы так !
Это не трамваи. Вагоны тянут тросы, проложенные в дорожном полотне.
No trams now, you get pushed underground in hostile no light environment.
Times were tough. We have it easy compared to then. No modern technology, no computers, people were working. No HR. People worked long hours. People did face to face communication. Men worked in offices as secretaries. NYC was crowded then but in a more understanding way. No times square commercialization.
