American Adventure 23 Eps


(4.2 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

The "American Adventure" series is a wonderful drama series depicting important moments in American History. Actors portray these stories so well that you can very nearly smell the fire burning, taste the freshly brewed coffee, or even hear the birds singing above the lakes.

This series, brought to us by NBC with the cooperation of the University of North Carolina and sponsorship from the Ford Foundation, showcases the hard work of John Marsden Ehle, Jr., an American writer best known for his fictions set in the Appalachian Mountains of the American South.

This is most definitely a series to share with family and friends; please download and pass on to others!

These are not factual but dramatic fantasy


(4 Sterne)

I assume these are put out by the drama society of Univ. of NC, as they are totally fantastic in nature and not taken from history. They are "what ifs"- sort of a completely dramatized slices of the lives of the persons depicted. One of the voices grates on my ears: Charles Kuralt? who once did radio, who's voice and the bits he does are I think quite affected. I was looking for actual events, not made up ones, unfortunately, but gave them a listen and the audio in these is extremely good- at least the ones Ive heard so far. For this wishing a history lesson, move on. These are little mini-plays taken from fiction and not history.
