I found a bit of Indian Village footage (2:55 mark): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/TLGXDuB0o0E/hqdefault.jpg "Disneyland 1965 - Jungle Cruise, Submarine Voyage, Indian Village, Autopia and More!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLGXDuB0o0E) Much better than the nonsense inside the Golden Horseshoe, IMO. Which I only knew about thanks to the Disney Channel’s late night programming, before they replaced old “Wonderful World of Disney” and Mouseketeer stuff with repeats of their teen angst crap. ---

I’ve got a copy. I highly doubt there a many people who would have the patience to read these. Harris wrote the stories phonetically in a rural African-American dialect which is not easy to read and understand. ---
