   Excellent video! The hillsides were really barren. After the cedar blight & before the casaurinas & peppers took over.

   I don’t know why we don’t have an Arbor Day here in Bermuda. Everyone should remove a pepper tree and plant a cedar tree.

   An interesting video that is historically accurate; people of color were not seen. It is reminder of the social culture of Bermuda, prior to the Bermuda civil rights movement.

     Did you watch it all? There are as many blacks as whites. I think you are looking too deeply, to me it just looks more innocent, days before guns, and all the nonsense we have today.

       Yes, I watched the entire film. It seems as though we were watching different films as the people of color were hardly seen.

       I think the person looking too deeply is you, as there is no mention of guns in my statement. As I stated before “this video is historically accurate…a reminder of the social culture of the day.” End of story!

   Interesting to see how American tourists captured Bermuda on film as a souvenir the year I was born! Thanks for posting.
