(There is a brief scene of flower fields below Mount Rainier. Another scene shows Glacier Peak in the North Cascades viewed from Miners Ridge. The foreground meadow is completely filled with sheep!) At the end of the film is a message urging viewers to contribute to the Red Cross.

Newsreel Section
Except for the 1922 Mt Rainier film, it is hard to know which scenes in these newsreels were shot by Charles Perryman. These films (except for the Mt Rainier film) were all transferred to digital format at the 16mm sound film speed (24 frames/sec).

For video clips, click the entry in the Title column, below.
