Fiddler From the 1890s Plays His Violin (Sound Remastered)
0:00 Introduction
1:18 Charles Ross Taggart Performing
This is Charles Ross Taggart (19 March 1871, Washington, D.C. - 4 July 1953, Kents Hill, Maine) an American comedian and folklorist who appeared all over North America as "The Man From Vermont" and "The Old Country Fiddler" from 1895 to 1938. He grew up in Topsham, Vermont, and later lived in Newbury for many years in a house he called "Elmbank," which overlooked the railroad depot.
Recorded with Lee de Forest's Phonofilm process in 1923, this technology ushered in the beginning of sound-on-film. Eventually, Hollywood studios would create their own sound-on-film systems that most of us are familiar with today.
Audio has been remastered.
Mr. Taggart was part of a traveling show called the Chautauqua circuit, where he would perform folk music on his violin, sing, play the piano, do ventriloquism, and tell outlandish stories that supposedly took place in rural New England. Taggart retired from performing from this circuit in 1938.

    The southern states all signed the “Articles of Confederation”. As a result of their attempted secession from the United States, it was an act of war. Lee should have been arrested at his resignation from the US Army since Lincoln had declared Martial Law. The South was living on deficit spending and the soil was being depleted. The Southwest Territories were Free, so the South was really financially strapped. Slaves were a financial commodity to the South and their Emancipation was a final blow to the South. “States Rights” were not an issue to the North since the South signed the “Articles of Confederation”. Had the South won the Civil War, in my opinion, England would have returned and had a new foothold in the country as the South would have become an English Colony. England would have e abolished slavery as they did years ago in England. England held much of the South’s debt and England would have returned to protect their credit investment.
