In a survey of American abodes, our journey begins in New England with the post and beam timber frame, continues to the Southeast with the "log house," onto the "sod house" of the Great Plains, and finally ends in the Southwest with the "adobe home.

In 1607, 105 Englishmen crowded onto three ships to cross the Atlantic in search of a new world. They built a fort at Jamestown and established trade with the indigenous people. But things turned bad quickly--the natives became hostile.

Explore the technology and survival techniques used by the men of the Lewis and Clark expedition on their landmark journey to the Pacific.             

Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the legendary rock band The Who and avid history buff, braves the mountain wilderness as we recreate the most famous expedition in U.S. history.

Never before in history have man and beast's lives been more intertwined....To the Plains Indian, the buffalo represented food, shelter, and clothes. Roger Daltrey experiences the life of America's ultimate big-game hunters.

They invented the swirling, circling wagon train attack. They took captives...or decorated their lances with the scalps of those who fought back. From a ragtag band of scavengers, the Comanche transformed themselves into superior warriors by becoming the first tribe to tame the wild mustangs. In less than a generation, the Comanche became the world's greatest horsemen. For more than 150 years, the Comanche of the Southwest were ferocious raiders who stuck terror into the hearts of the plains tribes, Mexican villagers, and frontier settlers. They became the most feared and powerful tribe to follow the massive buffalo herds across the American heartland. We detail the motivation, tactics, weapons, and experiences of these nomadic Native Americans known as the "Lords of the Southern Plains.

For centuries, the disappearance of 117 colonists from Roanoke Island has been this country's oldest mystery. Now, stonework experts Jim and Bill Vieira will use cutting-edge technology to take a deeper look at a mysterious inscription, which could finally lead to the truth about the lost colony.

Stonework experts Jim and Bill Vieira continue their hunt for the Lost Colony of Roanoke by analyzing the inscription on the mysterious Dare Stone against the 400-year-old historical record. By lining up passages on the stone with clues left behind by Captain John Smith of Jamestown, the Vieiras set out on a search for evidence that could reveal the location of the Lost Colony, and change American history.
