From Louis and Clarke to the
great ol' California Gold Rush, America has had the great fortune of
experiencing a plethora of awesome triumphs of the human spirit. Just gazing
upon good Old Glory, one could just feel the patriotism, hard work and sacrifice
that early Americans experienced in order to lay the foundation for their
future children and for a Nation that will forever been known as the "Land
of Opportunity." The American Trail tells the story of these brave men and
women. This 13 part serial chronicles the beautiful history of the United
States of America and tells of the lives that made the citizens of that great
Nation look up at that Red, White, and Blue and say "You're a grand old
flag, You're a high flying flag/ And forever in peace may you wave."
("You're a Grand Old Flag" by George M. Cohan)
