A companion to the phenomenally successful Great British RaiIway Journeys, this series sees Michael Portillo swapping his treasured copy of Bradshaw's handbook for its Stateside counterpart an 1879 edition of AppIeton's Guidebook to the railroads of America and Canada.
This three DVD set features fifteen episodes covering two different journeys:
New York City to Niagra FaIIs
PhildaeIphia to Jamestown
Michael takes two journeys traversing the north-east of the United States: the first takes him across New York State, from New York City to a birds-eye view of Niagara FaIIs via the state capital, AIbany; on his second journey he crosses the mid-AtIantic states of PennsyIvania, Delaware, MaryIand and Virginia, traveIIing from Philadelphia to Jamestown via Washington, D.C.
Along the way he takes in Broadway, EIlis lsland the gateway to America for miIIions of immigrants during the Iate 19th century the future World Trade Center Transportation Hub, the Military Academy at West Point, and SIeepy HoIIow; he crosses the worId's longest footbridge and visits the birthplace of the Mormon Church, hears the stories of African SIaves and visits the sites of battles that shaped the nation during the American Civil War before reaching the Iands coIonised by the earIiest British settIers. |
