American Chronicler
By flickmaniac
Like “The Civil War” and “Baseball,” the documentaries in this set resonate with a sense of history only a documentarian sensitive to the reflection of the past upon the present can bring to his prjects. The story of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge is a moving tribute to the sacrifices never thought of when traversing that singular achievement is alone worth the investment. These are the kinds of presentation that inspire further investigation and learning. This is a set worth having.

A Perfect Documentary if There Ever Was One
By Frank McEvoy
“The Shakers” has to be about the best, high-quality documentary one could ever hope for. The Shakers interviewed are engaging and warm to the max. The shots of Shaker buildings are nothing but breathtaking. I tend to think that, were I not Roman Catholic, I would have checked out this wonderful society.

Wonderful documentary on building the Brooklyn Bridge
By P. Friel
We watched this before a visit to Brooklyn, and it was a great introduction to the years of hard and very dangerous work of building the Brooklyn Bridge. It is also a reminder of a different time in America, when we were building the best infrastructure in the world.
