These reels, which I viewed on youtube, were filmed in 1929. They are centered on the outdoor activities of the Dennison family on Sysladobsis Lake, including guided hunts, canoe trips, fish and game, and much more. You’ll see footage of canoes being towed by one of the early steamers, shots of Grand Lake Stream near the dam, the train station at Princeton, as well as many of our now-deceased guides who were young men at the time. Note the period dress, the cookware (so similar to guiding cookware now), the early outboard motors, the methods of transporting game out of the woods, and other details too numerous to mention. I find these films so fascinating as to be mesmerizing.
