Archive Dive with Greg Riley featuring the Yount-Manion Films

The Texas Archive speaks with author Greg Riley about the Yount-Manion Films. Spanning from the 1920s to the 1970s, this home movie collection documents the oil operations and family life of "the godfather of Beaumont" Frank Yount. Discovered by authors Greg Riley and Fred McKinley while researching their book "Black Gold to Bluegrass," the films were donated by the family to the Lamar University Library and digitized by TAMI via the Texas Film Round-Up. This program is made possible in part with a grant from @HumanitiesTexas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
