Incredible the quality and detail. And that it survived all these years. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Wow! This must be primarily Springfield and Main St. At least one shot of streetcars doing what they do. I saw the Nathan Bedford Forrest Calvary vets were in attendance. Plenty of seemingly identifiable landmarks for our historians!

In 1914, forty eight thousand people from around the South descended on Jacksonville fifty years after the end of the Civil War to honor the Veterans of the Confederate War. They camped along Hogans Creek in the Springfield neighborhood and staged a massive parade which was caught on film by Jville's film industry. Check out the amazing footage of Jacksonville as it was a hundred years ago.
