About this footage
A handwritten cardboard sign stuck in a snowbank, "MARCH 1 & 2, 1965," opens the winter part of this collection. After it come drifts piled higher than the bushes, a woman in a dark coat wading through snow, a cat watching from a yard, and birds at a snow-capped feeder.
When the thaw comes, the camera turns to water. Roads disappear under icy runoff, sandbags are stacked against brick buildings, rail tracks and boats sit submerged, and a brown current pours through the arches of a stone bridge. Other clips show a crushed sedan and camper in a field and a house reduced to debris. Several shots were filmed off a television screen showing the same kind of damage.
The reel box lists "itasca park, bayfield, duluth, winter carnival," and the summer and fall reels match it: calm lakes with forested shores, a boat trip to a dock signed "Rocky Island Air Haven," a red stagecoach with four horses, and hillsides of yellow trees around Duluth. Useful for films about Upper Midwest winters and spring flooding.
