Customer Reviews

This set is wonderful!
I just purchased this set, and it was worth EVERY penny I paid for it. This is a wonderful look at our nations history. This was released originally on LP for American's bicentennial in 1975. Parts of this set actually brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic!
Great educational value and very entertaining at the same time!
