Summary: Elvis and Me
Comment: I might be bias, but this show is very special to me. One of the 10 days featured in the series was my birthday, September 9th, 1956, so it was wonderful to have the era (and year) documented in such an outstanding and informative way. I've always told friends that that day would always be remembered for the Elvis appearance on Sullivan, though I never thought it would be lauded in such a historic way. I believe the entire series was informative and I'm glad I now have the DVD to pass on to family members.

Summary: Great teacher resource
Comment: I teach US History I & II and this 3-disc DVD set is a great supplement for my curriculum. The episodes are 30-40 minutes, which are a perfect lengths for my classes. The segments are age-appropriate and not too boring for high school students. This is a must-have whether you teach US I or II.

Summary: Very interesting
Comment: These movies are very interesting and broken up in great 'chapters'. They are not the event that you would think and you get a good glimpse at each historical event.
