A companion to the phenomenally successfuI Great British Railway Journeys, this series sees Michael PortiIlo swap his treasured copy of Bradshaw's handbook for its stateside counterpart an 1879 edition of Appleton's General Guide to the United States and Canada.
This four-DVD set features twenty episodes covering two different journeys:
Boston, Massachusetts, to Toronto, Ontario
Reno, Nevada, to San Diego, California
Michael's first epic raiI journey takes him a thousand miIes from Ieafy New England over mountain ranges to the Great Lakes. He discovers how a revolution fanning out from Boston, Massachusetts, overthrew the Crown and brought in an independent United States of America; while in Canada, nearly two and half centuries later, the head of state is stiIl the British monarch.
Next, he travels a thousand miles from the Sierra Nevada mountains south aIong the coast of CaIifornia towards the Mexican border to tell the story of a state that has transformed the worId, from goId and siIver to Hollywood and Silicon VaIIey.
Along the way he encounters revolutionaries and feminists, pilgrims and witches and rides some of the oIdest and most breathtaking railroads in the world. He discovers goId and silver, movies and microchips, oranges and oil, and Iearns how America's most famous railroad conquered the wiId Iandscapes of the west. |
