Basically this short video shows a parade... lots of horses... nothing special. We see President McKinley for a second or two tops... if we see him at all (it's hard to tell since the quality of the video). Not even really worth watching from a historical standpoint.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a 2-minute short film from 1901 and it was still in black-and-white and silent. Even if this got into the National Fil Registry, I have to say that this was not a good watch at all. Even from a historical perspective, I can see nothing memorable here. Basically, all we see is soldiers in this film. Some of them are on horses, some of them are not. They are escorting the President (shortly before his assassination) and it's a bit of a parade. Definitely one of the weaker silent short films and by 1901, the genre had already progressed in a way that makes this one look even bad. Underwhelming stuff from Edison here, one of his worst probably.
