Guest stude8 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 For all you real early race fans the Library of Congress has a 1904 motion picture film of the Vanderbilt race on Long Island NY. It was filmed from several vantage points so you can see just how risky it was to watch. Just use the link below to enter the LOC site and follow instructions to run the film.Stude8http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?papr:10:./temp/~ammem_SdUU::@@@mdb=manz,eaa,aap,aaeo,rbaapcbib,aasm,ftvbib,aaodyssey,hh,gottscho,mharendt,bbpix,bbcards,magbell,berl,lbcoll,rbpebib,calbkbib,tccc,lhbcbbib,cdn,cic,cwband,cwnyhs,gmd,mtaft,cwar,cola,consrvbib,bdsbib,coolbib,coplandbib,curt,dag,musdibib,fsaall,mfd,papr,aep,fine,fmuever,dcm,cmns,flwpabib,afcreed,cowellbib,toddbib,lomaxbib,ngp,afcwwgbib,haybib,raelbib,gottlieb,mtj,alad,wpa,mal,scsm,mcc,mymhiwebib,mmorse,aipn,ncpm,ncpsbib,afcwip,fawbib,omhbib,pan,afcpearl,vv,wpapos,psbib,pin,presp,lhbprbib,qlt,ncr,relpet,mussm,dukesm,mesnbib,llstbib,denn,amss,uncall,fpnas,svybib,runyon,wtc,lhbtnbib,detr,hlaw,lhbumbib,upboverbib,varstg,horyd,mgw,hawp,nawbib,suffrg,awh,awhbib,nfor,sgp,wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 John,Thanks or the tip.I'll have to view that later, if I can figure out how to load it. I have 6-8 photos from he 1905 Vanderbilt Race, but I can't find a way to attach anything to this site, everything gets rejected because it is too large.
