video collection celebrates the history of our great nation from
colonial times to the present. On this incredible journey spanning four
centuries and more than 5,000 miles, you will visit the places, meet the
people, and relive the events that took us from an emerging nation to
leader of the free world. Revelations from personal letters and diaries,
beautiful re-creations, insights from noted historians, and archival
footage combine to make history come alive as never before!
Part 1: Forging a Nation - You
will see the Pilgrims land on the wild shores of Massachusetts,

Boone. Join Lewis and Clark on their thrilling exploration of the
Pacific Northwest. Defend the Alamo with Sam Houston. Share the agony of

completion of the transcontinental railroad.
Part 3: Leading the World - You
will step into Thomas Edison's workshop. Be there as Henry Ford perfects
the assembly-line process. Join Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson as
