A personal history of the United States by Alistair Cooke which was filmed for the British Broadcasting Company. Part 1: The nation turns west; Mormons, led by Brigham Young, settle in Utah; the transcontinental railroad forges ahead; lawless towns, barbed wire and cowboys characterize the era. Part 2: Russian, German and European immigrants populate the midlands; prairies turn into wheatlands. The Custer massacre and the Battle of Wounded Knee illustrate the conflicts of this period.
