Michael_Elliott Buffalo Stockyards (1897) This short clocks in at just over a minute, which is pretty long for something from 1897. The title pretty much tells you everything you need to know because the camera is set up in a stockyard where we see several people riding horses by the camera. This certainly appears to be one of the films were the action was staged but either way there's really not too much that happens here. Fans of the films from this era will enjoy seeing what a stockyard looked like back then and I guess horse lovers will enjoy seeing them. Outside of that there's really nothing too special here.
