Founding Fathers
Source: Amazon.com
- From an Amazon reviewer: "This is an excellent primer on the men who founded the United States. It is one of my favorite History Channel series. The stories told are intriguing and they did a good job of connecting the stories to the people in a way that you don't get lost as they jump from one person to another. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because 4 hours simply is not long enough for the subject matter." (2000)
