I love this cd
+ Some good western tunes here!
+ Outstanding Native American Samples
I bought this cd two years ago for a history project and I was really surprised how much I loved the music. This cd gave me the desire to learn to play the banjo. I have really gotten my money out of this cd and it will continue being one of my favorites.

Hard Times in the Promised Land
Off to California, Andy Alexis, ...
Fiddle and Banjo Records, 2006
A musical journey through historic California, this recording was inspired by the gold rush of 1849 and the lesser-known Sacramento cholera epidemic of 1850. In a few short weeks, cholera claimed an estimated 5,000 lives in the region, a tragedy of immense proportions in its time. Off to California--performers of gold rush music since 1991-- developed this project out of their work on soundtrack ...

American Experience - Stephen Foster1 review
Marion Ross
PBS (Direct), 2006
Impressive Work on Complicated Matter
I think the "American Experience" covers more than top-down matters; they discuss presidents, but they also cover less famous people. I knew nothing about Stephen Foster, but this program explains why he's significant to American history.
As an African American, my knee-jerk reaction was to ...

I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union soldiers advance into the breech ...
