Product Description:
The National Parks (six episodes, twelve hours) tells the human history of five of the nation’s most important and most heavily visited National Parks (Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Acadia, and Great Smoky Mountains) and the unforgettable Americans who made them possible. Set against some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, each park’s story is filled with incidents and characters as gripping and fascinating as American history has to offer. Woven into the series will also be a broader, evolving story of the very idea of National Parks, as uniquely an American concept as jazz, baseball, and the Declaration of Independence as well as the expanding, constantly changing National Parks system (encompassing stories from other parks) and the growing role they all have come to play in our nation's sense of itself, its past, and its future.

I saw the series on PBS and had to have the discs. Well worth it. Great cinematography with a well written story line integrated with personal vignettes/stories. A keeper Blu-Ray set.

The depth of the research into the background history of the parks and the political battles that went on were great. The photography was exceptional as Ken Burns always is. When worth the money spent and makes one want to get out and see the parks!

this is a wonderful documentary of the National Parks. We never realized all the hard work and dedication of our early pioneers like John Muir who fought to preserve the beautiful areas of nature that we now know as the National Parks. This has definitely made us appreciate much more the beauty that surrounds us. It has also given us the opportunity to see those parks that we may never get to. We highly recommend this video to everyone.

What seems at the outset like a subject that should only take an hour to cover, becomes a myriad of stories and historical facts that encompass many many hours. Whether it is interesting enough to sit through depends on what your expectations are and whether you like learning about history. Personally, I think The National Parks is an incredible achievement in documentary filmmaking and is incredibly interesting through and through, especially on Blu-ray. I saw the first episode on TV and thought ... Read More
