Wonderful images of kilts in a 1928 film

Thanks for the math correction!

What I was thinking of was the stories my grandmother used to tell me. Born in 1897, she said that growing up all the older men in town were Civil War veterans. Most were Union but there were some "ol mossbacks" as she called them, Confederate veterans. Maybe Chesapeake WV wasn't typical of the country as a whole.

My grandmother and grandfather both lived to the age of 97 and people of 100 or more were not uncommon. Our typical family gathering photos show five and even six generations.

Great movie! I really enjoyed it. Great special effects. Got to wonder how they did some of those FX.

Interesting. My great-grandfather and at least six of his brothers fought in the War out of PA. Two died. Earlier his uncles/cousins had moved to Virginia and were instrumental in the formation of WV. They were Burleys

This film was amazing .... really funny and the stop-motion animations were really good (especially for that time) and maybe smoother than some even into the 1970's
