Description: Description: World War II-era assembly reel spans a range of human activity from prewar to postwar, and from kissing to gambling to war games. With photography of settler waypoints, the reel also includes staged tank battles at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, skiing at Yellowstone National Park, the ghost town of Virginia City, nighttime neon at Times Square and in Reno, and a serene long take from the back of a train on the Lucin Cutoff, with the Great Salt Lake in view.
