This review is from: Threads of Glory: 200 Years of America in Words and Music (Audio CD)

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!
