This review is from: You Are There: The American Revolution and George Washington (DVD)

I have been waiting for this series to be released and I must say I am not disappointed! Walter Cronkite and his news staff deliver great coverage of historic events "as they happen." Great stuff for children wanting to know about history. I am planning to use them in my classroom.

4.0 out of 5 stars BEST HISTORY PROGRAM EVER!!!!!, July 18, 2009

This review is from: You Are There: The American Revolution and George Washington (DVD)

You Are There is simply an unsurpassed way of getting a capsule review of historic events. It arouses interest and provides incentive to dwelve more deeply into specific events throughout history. I would very much like to see a release of the entire series. There are more of these individual DVD's available for those that wish. The quality of this disc is quite good and the shows are complete. However, I can't in good conscience acquire any more because I refuse to support any series where they inject a watermark during the program. There's just no way that could have originally been there. If not for that marring, this would have been 5 stars.

This review is from: You Are There: The American Revolution and George Washington (DVD)

I've reviewed another of this series elsewhere (Capture of John Wilkes Booth and Spindletop), and I find this one equally valuable but, again, not necessarily for younger kids.

The program production values are not up to the expectations of modern viewers, particularly children, as the single-shot scenes are often long with much talking by characters. Furthermore, many kids are immediately turned off by black-and-white images.

Nevertheless, the concept and presentation is sound, and the information is excellent.

And at the relatively inexpensive price, it's worth getting if you're interested in George Washington and his era.
