Summary:
This program is about American explorers and pioneers who were the pathfinders: those who first explored the valleys, rivers and mountains of America, and those who were the first to make it their home. Men like Christopher Columbus, Sir Francis Drake, Henry Hudson, James Cook, Daniel Boone, Robert Gray, Lewis and Clark, Charles Wilkes, John Fremont, and more. While outlining the exploration of our continent, this also captures the great beauty and abundant natural resources of our great land.
