Description: This home movie captures members of the Yount-Manion family at their homes in Beaumont and Manitou Springs, Colorado, as well as on vacation in Bermuda. In Beaumont, the children play cops and robbers in the front yard. At the family mansion in Colorado, the Manion children spend time with their paternal grandparents. Most of the film captures the Manion’s vacation to Bermuda. Images of a bustling pier, thriving downtown, and lush countryside all serve as evidence of an enjoyable trip. The Yount-Manion Films were given to Lamar University by Greg Riley and Fred McKinley. The pair discovered the films while researching their 2005 book, Black Gold to Bluegrass: From the Oil Fields of Texas to Spindletop Farm of Kentucky, which chronicles the legacy of Frank and Pansy Yount.
