The use of panning and zoom on the pictures is the original Ken Burns effect.

Thanks for showing the video. My great-great-uncle Charles "Grist Mill" Jones was one of the nine members of the Oklahoma delegation. They built the Golden Grain Pavilion from Oklahoma in the agricultural building. I think they got a gold medal for the best flour in the Midwest. I've only seen one photo of the Golden Grain Pavilion, and it was a stereoscope picture. I'm pretty sure the Oklahoma delegation brought Geronimo with them from Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Geronimo made money selling daquerreotypes of himself for $3. I got a lot of this information from the territorial Governor of Oklahoma Thompson Ferguson's annual report for 1906 on the Territory of Oklahoma to the president of the United States.

I don’t think could be built in 10 years time today. So much for progress…

@@odaydrums people didn’t sit around doing nothing but the masses at the time would most likely have to choice between hard labour or going hungry. More people willing to do labour work back then especially when their more motivated as well due to less access to information at the time.

I have a picture of my great great grandfather, three sons, and a daughter in law, whom were there. It would be great if I could spot them in this film. When I was 11, I met the daughter in law. She was 83 at the time. I wish I had asked more questions.

Because she took an interest in another culture? Imagine what our PC police would be saying today had devolving nations of that time had not been represented: “All people of color were excluded from exhibiting at the Fair!” Just can’t win with you people.🙄
