Purely History on Instagram: "This rare 1958 interview features Otto “Pop” Carter, who was 102 years old at the time, having been born in 1856, just before the Civil War. On film, he recalls moments from a century of life, serving as a living bridge to the 19th century. Even more astonishing, in 1963 he marked his 107th birthday by roller skating, a joyful display of both his remarkable longevity and his enduring zest for life."
