10th U.S. Infantry, 2nd Battalion Leaving Cars (1898)
** (out of 4)
Edison short pretty much has the title telling you everything that you'd need to know. The film, running just over a minute, features the 10th U.S. Infantry marching through the streets appearing to be heading off for war training. We see them carrying their guns, blankets, canteens and other items, which is a historical interest, if not exactly entertaining. We see a few people obviously not knowing that there's filming going on because they walk in front of the camera.
You can view this and other rare shorts at American Memory from the Library of Congress.
