The best of On the Road with Charles Kuralt
Here is a treasure trove of living history, good people and breathtaking beauty written and brought to life by Charles Kuralt, for you to laugh, be moved and above all share, savor and enjoy! For 20 years, Charles Kuralt has been on the road, experiencing first-hand the American territory and its people. In these three programs, you and your family are invited to join in, remember our history, and visit the people and places that continue to make America great.
In “The American Heritage,” you’ll find yourself in the same room where Thomas Jefferson revealed his Declaration of Independence…and then watched it debated and, in his mind, watered down! You will remember the time when the Americans doubled their acreage by purchasing Louisiana from Napoleon for two cents an acre. Then you'll hear the names and see the carved handwriting of the individuals who braved the Oregon Trail to open up the American West.
In "Seasons of America," you'll be captivated by year-round wonders from coast to coast, from the solitude of a man's forest garden in Virginia, to the spectacular sights and sounds of an old-fashioned American 4th of July from the Midwest… and from the awe-inspiring beauty of autumn in New England to the bitter, menacing winds of the snowy plains of Wyoming!
In "Unforgettable People," you'll see a car drive by with ears of corn, stand next to the world's largest ball of string, and meet more than a dozen colorful, spirited American families and workers, of the Kentucky tobacco farmer who was humiliated. become a world-class croquet player, all the way to the most inspiring bicycle repairman in the country!
