The Best of On the Road with Charles Kuralt
Here is a treasury of living history, good people and breathtaking beauty written and hosted by Charles Kuralt, for you to laugh with, be moved by, and above all, share, savor and enjoy! For 20 years Charles Kuralt has been on the road, experiencing the American land and its people, firsthand. In these three programs you and your family are invited to join him, recalling our history and visiting the people and places that continue to make America great.

In “The American Heritage” you’ll stand in the same room where Thomas Jefferson revealed his Declaration of Independence.. then watched it debated and, in his mind, watered down! You’ll recall the time when American doubled its size by purchasing Louisiana from Napoleon for two cents an acre. Then, you’ll hear the names and see the chiseled handwriting of individuals who braved the Oregon Trail to open up the American West.

In “Seasons of America” you’ll be enthralled by yearround wonders from coast to coast, from the solitude of one man’s Virginia forest garden, to the spectacular sights and sounds of an oldfashioned midwestern American Fourth of July… and from the awesome beauty of autumn in New England to the ominous bitter winds of Wyoming’s snowy plains!

In “Unforgettable People” you’ll witness a car that runs on corn cobs, stand next to the world’s largest ball of string, and meet more than a dozen colorful and spirited American families and working people, from the Kentucky tobacco farmer who was shamed into becoming a worldclass croquet player, to the country’s most inspiring bicycle repairman!
