America's Historic Trails





AMERICA'S HISTORIC TRAILS WITH TOM BODETT é uma nova série que retraça algumas das trilhas históricas mais famosas do país. Gostaria muito que essa série pudesse ser disponibilizada aqui. Não a vi em canto algum, entretanto.

Abaixo, o restante da sinopse:

These trails have been glorified in film and mythologized in tales about Coronado, George Washington, Daniel Boone, Brigham Young, Father Junipero Serra and others, including farmers, miners, Native Americans, soldiers, traders and con-men. Now, viewers are invited to join series host Tom Bodett as he explores the role of these trails in America's rich history. The old trails pass through intriguing travel destinations and spectacular landscapes, from Boston's Paul Revere House to Napa Valley's lush wine country. In 13 half-hours, shot on location, Tom sets out on a series of good-humored trips as he tells the story of each historic trail. On the Web: http://www.travelsmallworld.com
