Home Movie: 004727 (silent)

Description: Elevated trains in Chicago, an amateur baseball game in a sandlot, canoes going through white water on the Klamath River, a family in a swimming pool, and workers loading what appears to be coal onto ships. Final roll may be unrelated to previous footage but does appear to be filmed with a white gaze, presumably in Korea.
