This is absolutely fascinating! The sheer history in this video of a cable car ride in San Francisco, circa 1906 is dumbfounding. Six years before the Titanic sank. Seven years from the creation of the Federal Reserve. A mere twenty five years after the gunfight at the O.K. Corral! The west was still wild and Wyatt Earp was still alive and doing business in California at the time of this video! U.S. Currency was still redeemable in Gold Coin and, in April of this same year, an 8.25 magnitude earthquake will hit this city, killing over 4,000 people and destroying 75% of the city. Amazing....at least for history nerds like me!
