American Experience: New York : A Documentary Film by Ric Burns – A Video Revue
1848 New York Mitchell Map
Although David Faulkner is still compiling his Favorite Books for 2012 – Library Inspired Selections I am taking the liberty of endorsing one of the best video documentaries I have ever seen.
Ric Burns American Experience: New York should be required viewing for every student of United States history. The delivery is excellent. The subject matter is superb.
It is well worth the investment of $89.99 with PBS ~
