Historical Drama (1955-1956)

Civil War photoPresented by the University of North Carolina, American Adventure is a historical show of American characters throughout the history of this nation. It begins, "This nation is young yet, still new and unfinished. Still now, America is man's greatest adventure in time and space.

Similar in theme to American Trail, American Adventure is "a study of man in the new world, of his values and characteristics through the years, who he is, what he believes and lives by. It includes varied interesting stories such as the legend of Johnny Appleseed, African American soldiers during WWI, civil war stories, and about the man who got the idea to lay the Atlantic cable. Both educational and entertaining, American Adventure will have Yankees and Confederates alike waving their flag and sitting up straight to listen to these stories of our great country.

    COMMENTS

    I do love all the shows I've ordered from OTRCAT. I have more, far more, to listen to than I'll have in a lifetime, but I worry not. I love sharing shows with some of my fellow blind friends, and I know that at least one of them has also ordered from you.

    I like the CD it was in a very good condition and the CD was very good

    These include some of the lesser-known parts of great Americans' lives. For example, the episode about George Washington Carver, instead of focusing on some of his great scientific achievements, is about his standing up for his human dignity to a wealthy landowner. Grandfather Jefferson has some charming moments, and I enjoy that it is written from a grandchild's point of view. This historical series will give new insights to anyone who takes the time to listen.
